SHOWCASE VI

UP
In this showcase we can see several chalices, among which it is worth highlighting the golden chalice, a gift from the Countess of Lemos to the Colegio del Cardenal. The rest of the chalices and the ciborium belong to the college and are the property of the PP. Escolapios, being deposited for their safety in this Pinacoteca.
