In the chapel just below the bell tower, we can see what remains of the sculptural group of the Holy Burial, made in 1350 by the workshop of the master Aloi de Montbrai, who would have commissioned the work to Jaume Cascalls. Unfortunately, only the image of the Lying Christ has been preserved. It represents a radical change in the anatomical conception in comparison with what was done at that time in Catalan Gothic sculpture. The body of Christ rests on only three points on the surface below (head, back and feet), as the body is bent as a result of the crucifixion. The half-open mouth stands out, which gives it a feeling of suffering. Its beautiful workmanship has made it considered one of the best examples of Catalan Gothic sculpture.
