Pórtico de Gloria
This is the original 12th century carving by Master Mateo, now protected
from the elements by a set of outer doors (err, actually the second set
of doors were added because 'scandalous' things were being done by pilgrims
in the portico). St. James holds up the center of the arch, with God sitting
above him, and 24 musicians ranged about him.
