The Chapel of the Conception was built on the initiative of D. Diego Serrano around 1515, in one of the corners of the cloister of the cathedral of Sigüenza (Spain). Inside, two beautiful balconies stand out, which are accessed through two side stairs. The entire chapel was decorated with mural paintings, including the vault, where we can see the representation of numerous dragons. In 2014, the painting of The Incarnation of Mary, painted by El Greco, was placed in this chapel.

This work is part of the collaboration agreement signed in 2020 between Junta de Comunidades de Castilla-La Mancha and Global Digital Heritage. We want to thank the Bishopric of Sigüenza-Guadalajara and the cathedral chapter, especially D. Jesús de las Heras, D. Miguel Ángel Ortega and D. Julián García, for the facilities and for the interest they have shown in the project.
