Porch of Collegiate Church of Candes-Saint-Martin, Indre-et-Loire, France. The church was built in the 12th century and fortified in the 15th, and is built on the site of the death of St Martin in 397 AD. The porch, built c. 1250, is of 2 storeys. The chapel is above, and on the ground floor as seen here, carved vaults rest on a thin column. The door is crowned by 5 arches and carved scenes of the Last Judgement. The tympanum shows Christ with the Virgin Mary and St John, and niches contain sculptures of saints from the Old and New Testaments. At eye level are sculptures of heads of saints, kings, angels and masks amid vegetal decoration. This work was completed by many sculptors over half a century.
