EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning photograph captures the awe-inspiring Godsons Door (Porta dels Fillols) at Seu Vella, a 13th-century temple located in the historic city of Lleida, Catalonia, Spain. The temple, a masterpiece of the transitional style between Romanesque and Gothic architecture, was built in 1220. The Godsons Door, also known as the Door of the Fillols, is a magnificent entrance to the temple, adorned with intricately decorated columns, archivolts, and glass panels. The door is named after the Fillols, the godfathers of King Jaume I of Aragon, who financed the construction of the temple. The temple's façade is a breathtaking display of medieval art, with the Godsons Door serving as its grand entrance. The door's intricate design includes a central archivolt featuring the image of the Virgin Mary and the infant Jesus, surrounded by various saints and religious symbols. The door's open panels reveal more intricate details, including beautiful glasswork and intricate carvings. The temple's portico, with its elegant columns and arches, adds to the overall grandeur of the structure. This photograph offers a glimpse into the rich history and artistic beauty of Europe's medieval past, transporting us back in time to an era of stunning architecture and religious devotion.
