The belfry from another angle; the main door. The latter is slightly unusual in two respects: the arch is round but disguised as ogival, a timid incursion into the Gothic style that dates it to something like the middle of the 13c; and the molding is carved to resemble a twisted cloth or rope (close‑up). |

Over the door: Christ as the Lamb. This particular stone also illustrates something of the principle of the arch: if the keystone slips a bit, at least within the plane of the arch, it just wedges tighter; and the arch stays standing. |

A small fragment of what must have been a fairly long high-medieval Christian inscription, maybe from the original façade, which seems to have been torn up at some point: . . . DOMIᴎI . . . The pen is exactly 14 cm long. |
Images with borders lead to more information.
