From the cloister remain only the five bays of the western gallery. The position in staggered rows of the archs gives to the archway a very original and quite rare design, with triangular and diamond-shaped bays, and noticeable alterning keystones. On the southern wall of the church, one can still see the Renaissance-style corbels, that supported the wooden roof structure of this part of the cloister, long-past missed and on which opened the two doors that communicate with the church.

On the opposite side of the remaining part of the cloister, the last relics of the capitulary room are still erected. It was originally divided into four bays, vaulted with toric profile ogives and separated archs made by a ridge between two tori. These ribs meet in the middle of the room, on a central column, and into the walls, by bundles of three small columns.
