The main portal is the grand entrance that welcomes visitors into a world of architectural marvels and historical significance. From the majestic Unfinished Chapels in Batalha Monastery, located in the enchanting municipality of Batalha, to the captivating Carmo Church in Lisbon, Portugal, these portals are gateways to awe-inspiring beauty. In Batalha Monastery's main portal lies a story waiting to be discovered. The Capelas Imperfeitas stand as a testament to human ambition and craftsmanship. As one steps through this entrance they can transported back in time, surrounded by intricate carvings and soaring arches that whisper tales of devotion. Similarly, at the Carmo Church in Lisbon, another magnificent main entrance awaits. This portal serves as a gateway not only into an architectural masterpiece but also into history itself. With each step inside this sacred space, one can feel the weight of centuries past and admire the artistry that has withstood the test of time. Moving beyond Portugal's borders takes us on a journey through different regions within Italy. In Lazio's Viterbo province lie several notable main portals worth exploring. From Palazzo Mazzocchi-Alemanni in Civita to S. Giovanni Battista in Tarquinia and S. Andrea in Bagnoregio - each entrance holds its own unique charm and allure. Venturing further east brings us to Abruzzo's Penne where S. Maria Colleromano Convent church beckons visitors with its inviting main portal adorned with delicate details that speak volumes about faith and dedication. Finally, we return to Rome where two more remarkable entrances await exploration: SS Filippo e Giacomo Apostoli in Palidoro and S. Maria del Popolo in Cittaducale showcase Rome's rich religious heritage through their impressive facades.
