The Main Sacristy or Sacristy of the Heads, located at the ambulatory of the cathedral of Sigüenza (Spain), was built in the 16th century by Alonso de Covarrubias and Martín de Vandoma. Inside, there is a large vault decorated with 304 heads. On both sides of the interior of the sacristy there are beautiful wooden drawers decorated with numerous figures. The chapel of the Holy Spirit was built on one of the sides of the sacristy, also dating from the 16th century, where the relics of the cathedral are kept.
