Chapel of Santa Tecla, Burgos Cathedral, Baroque chapel in Cathedral, Burgos, Spain

The Chapel of Santa Tecla features polychrome plasterwork decorations, medallions, busts, and angel figures covering its vaults and semi-spherical dome.

The chapel, built between 1731 and 1736, merged four medieval chapels dedicated to Santa Praxedes, Santa Victoria, All Saints, and Santa Lucia.

The main altarpiece displays golden columns and polychrome sculptures depicting the martyrdom of Saint Tecla along with representations of other religious figures.

The chapel maintains regular religious services and houses a 13th-century baptismal font where Pablo de Santa Maria received his baptism.

The chapel holds the most recent organ in Burgos Cathedral, installed in 2004, and preserves a 15th-century sculpture of the Virgin of Oca.
