#4240. Gothic Portal with Moorish Motifs in Facade Decoration

The architectural element presented is a magnificent example of a Gothic doorway enriched with Moorish motifs. The wooden door features expressive geometric carvings with six-pointed stars creating a complex repeating pattern characteristic of Islamic decorative art.

The portal is framed by exquisite stone carvings. The pointed arch, typical of Gothic architecture, is adorned with lush vegetal ornaments featuring curved acanthus leaves. Above the arch lies a decorative panel with small repeating patterns in reddish-brown, contrasting with the beige background of the facade.

The composition is crowned by an elegant floral motif in the form of a bouquet, skillfully carved from stone. The columns on both sides of the portal end with capitals featuring rich floral carvings. Particularly impressive is the combination of strict geometry in the door panel and the plasticity of stone decoration, creating a harmonious contrast of textures and forms.

The entire composition is set within a cross-shaped niche, emphasizing the sacred purpose of the building and adding an additional dimension to the architectural solution of the facade.
