0 MONTFALCON PORTAL - LAUSANNE

In my post (see link), last week, I spoke about Lausanne's splendid Cathedral of Notre-Dame, described as Switzerland's finest and most representative example of Gothic architecture.

Today, I'm going to show you the last batch of the pictures I took there... I have decided to share with you the details of the Montfalcon Portal (thus named after a sixteenth-century bishop), a monumental arched doorway. As you can see, it is richly decorated with sculptures of biblical figures, saints, bishops and various creatures.
