The central portal depicts the Last Judgment. Christ the Judge is flanked by Mary, the Queen of Heaven, and John the Evangelist. Christ displays his Passion wounds; angels carry the instruments of his Passion, the column, lance, crown of thorns, scourge, nails, and cross. The lintel depicts Saint Michael weighing and separating the Saved and the Damned. [page 202]
