History
The door of the former church opens beneath the vault of the former city gate. Its construction dates to the early 16th century. The basket-handle arch is decorated with mouldings and sculptures finely cut in relief on the soffit. On each side, pilasters decorated with lozenges of rosettes and foliage frame the whole and terminate beneath the upper cornice, decorated with alternating geometric and foliage motifs. The tympan is decorated with trilobed ornaments and stylised foliage.
