Girona. Catedral de Santa Maria

The Cathedral was finished in the following century in Gothic manner which includes flying buttresses for reinforcement, ribbed vaults for overhead décor and of course its emphasis on pointed arches. The bell tower is the only portion of the edifice that shows its original Romanesque styling. And while the Cathedral was built in the Middle Ages, it has seen recent investment to fix or finish aspects that are crucial to aesthetics and stability. In the 1960s, the Baroque façade was completed as well as the placing of the angel; and the apostles’ door was finished in the 1970s.

I do like the three dimensional design of that doorway. It really makes a statement.
