Description
A detail of the impressive main entrance facade and stone carvings on the portal of Caminha's Igreja Matriz / parish church. The church dates from the 15th century and was built in the Gothic style with notable Manueline influences, which especially include these unusual stone carvings around and above the main door. Caminha, in the far north of Portugal, has a long history going back to Roman times. I find these sorts of carvings fascinating and have quite a lot more images of close ups from this church which would make very interesting large wall prints, please send a message if you would like to see more!
