I took this photo of in 2016 as I walked down from the hills into the beautiful small town of Villafranca del Bierzo. Just before entering the main plaza I pass by the 12th Century Romanesque Church of Santiago. This is the “Door of Forgiveness” (Puerta del perdon) which is open only in Jacobean Holy Years to offer pilgrims unable to continue to Santiago due to illness or injury absolution. The door is ornamented with floral, geometric motifs and biblical scenes decorating the pointed arches.

Another Puerta del Perdon, this time from Santo Toribio de Liébana near Potes. It is decorated with the images of saints.

Another church doorway, this time Beaulieu-sur-Dordogne Abbey, with its wonderful tympanum of the second Coming. In the centre is the figure of Christ in Majesty with arms wide to welcome the blessed. He is surrounded by the twelve apostles. Angels above him carry the crown of thorns, cross and nails. Other angels sound the trumpets to summon the dead who can be seen pushing open their coffin lids.

I always wonder if you can learn something about the owner of a house from their door. I suppose not. But it sure makes you curious...
