Description
A close up of some the unusual stone carvings above the main entrance 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 carvings around and above the main door. I always enjoy studying facades such as this, the level of craftmanship is invariably impressive and you can find all sorts of interesting characters and details, such as the 2 half human figures at the top of this image. I have quite a lot more images of close ups of carvings on this church which would make very interesting large wall prints, please send a message if you would like to see more!
