Santa Maria

Santa Maria Review

Decorated with a pageant of biblical figures, the 12th-century doorway to the church of Santa Maria is one of Catalonia's great works of Romanesque art, crafted as a triumphal arch by stone masons and sculptors of the Roussillon school, which was centered around French Catalonia and the Pyrenees. You can pick up a guide to the figures on the portal either in the church or at the information kiosk nearby.
