A magnificent 12th century porch located in the Leyre Monastery in Navarre, Spain, is one of the important features of the monastery. Known for its complex architectural structure and narrative of biblical stories, it is an outstanding representative of Romanesque art. The design is very exquisite, decorated with columns and capitals of St. Peter, Our Lady, and the Apostles, as well as intertwined bird necks. These details were handmade by the master Esteban, who is also the author of the Plater í as Gate in Santiago de Compostela. Not only is it the public entrance of the monastery, but it is also a necessary path leading to the church.
