.8. CORD ROOM

Its name is due to the cord that surrounds it. According to Segovian legend, this cord is related to Alfonso X "the Wise", who ordered this Franciscan cord to be placed there as a sign of penance for his excessive pride.

The walls are decorated with a tapestry showing the Battle of Arcila, a 15^th century panel of the Annunciation, one with four saints, another of St. Barbara and St. Lucia, and a triptych-type altar made of carved, gilded wood showing different saints and martyrs.

The small room called the "Queen's Chamber" next to the Cord Room has a Renaissance caissoned ceiling. On the walls you can see two paintings of saints and a replica of the Virgin of the Catholic Monarchs.
