This
is where the Carthusian monks had their main meals. It was enlarged
and redecorated in 1588, although both the entrance to the Claustrillo
(nº 4) and the surroundings of the pulpit were maintained.
The latter was designed for a monk to read the Holy Scriptures while
his companions ate their meal. The quality of the geometrical carved
wooden ceiling is outstanding, as too are the tiled panels from
the late 16th and 17th centuries. The room once housed The Last
Supper by Alonso Vázquez, now in the Museo de Bellas Artes
(Fine Arts Museum) of Seville.
