Monument · Yesa, Sangüesa, Navarra

A 12th-century Romanesque portico with a circular tympanum depicting the Savior, the Virgin, San Pedro, San Juan, and other evangelists, and four archivolts decorated with plant, animal, and fantastical motifs. Its capitals and the upper frieze, with scenes of the martyrdom of the saints Nunilo and Alodia, are attributed to the workshop of Master Esteban, who also worked on the cathedral of Santiago de Compostela.
