Puerta de San Martín de Xubias - Narón, A Coruña, Galicia, España - Doorways of the World on Waymarking.com

The monastery of San Martín de Jubia (in Galician and officially, San Martiño de Xuvia) was a Cistercian monastery in the Spanish municipality of Narón, (province of La Coruña). The remains of the monastery, the parish church and the annex building of the rectory, were declared in 1972 as an Asset of Cultural Interest with the category of historical-artistic monument.

"The door is unique, there is no other like it in any known Romanesque church. It lacks a tympanum, because the original was broken and was later reused as the base of a window in the monastic outbuildings. Very simple, the door is built on two archivolts crowned by a decorative arch of squares and semicircles lowered in the stone (blocks and bills). It shows a Cistercian rigor that could have reached the end of the 12th century."
