The ornately carved Puerta de la Gomia, the door between the cathedral of León and the attached cloister, was made during Diego's episcopate. He also had his coat-of-arms carved into the vaulted space between the cathedral and the cloister.[1]
Diego's monumental tomb in the cathedral of León is one of the earliest examples of the enfeu style of sepulchral recess imported from France.[2]
