Mudéjar exterior wall, Cathedral of the Savior (La Seo de Zaragoza), Zaragoza, Spain

“The long-standing rivalry between the canons of El Pilar and of La Seo was well known in the 17th century. ...[In] 1676, Pope Clement X made the Solomon-like decision to merge the two chapters via the Bull of Union. 6 prebendaries and 15 canons would reside in La Seo, and the same in El Pilar, and the dean would live 6 months in each one.” https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cathedral_of_the_Savior_of_Zaragoza
