the portal, although damaged by fires and restored in modern times, is a notable example of catalan romanesque sculpture. the frontal section features a relief from the mid-13th century (stylistically similar to the tomb of ramón berenguer iii in the cloister), divided in seven horizontal bands. the upper two show god enthroned, near whom are the symbols of the four evangelists; the scene is completed by several angels in adoration and the twenty-four elders. the central bands are dedicated to the story of david and solomon (left) and moses (right). at the bottom are various mythical animals commonly identified with the visions of the prophet daniel.
