Introduction

Designed by the German Konrad Rudolf, who was in the entourage of Archduke Charles. Its location next to the great tower, called Miguelete, could turn the work into a meagre object of little architectural value.

But if we look carefully at this door, we will be convinced that it is one of the best ornaments that our city has.

The most modern door

Without a doubt, it is the most modern door of the three that make up the Cathedral, standing out for its great beauty and value, being one of the few examples of the Italian architectural baroque in Spain, since it follows the style of Bernini, contrasting with the architectural movement established at that time in Spain.

A large altarpiece

With its undulating plant and its more than 36 metres high, it conveys the sensation of being in front of a large altarpiece, despite covering a very limited space, since it was conceived to be seen from the narrow Zaragoza street, currently open to the square.

First body

In the first body there are three columns on each side of the door, with Corinthian capitals and decorated shafts, accompanied by two sculptures and a bas-relief on the entrance arch.

Second body

The second body, of smaller dimensions, has four columns of the same order, in addition to an oval rose window in its middle, a series of sculptures are also arranged on its sides.
