Toulouges - Assomption de la Vierge

A thousand years ago, Toulouges was an important village in the diocese of Elne. By now Toulouges is just another western suburb of Perpignan.

The "Église de l'Assomption de la Vierge" in Toulouges has an extraordenary southern portal, that is even more elaborate that one in Brouilla (see previous uploads). The left side of the portal is very weathered and partly lost. The tympanum is weathered as well and may depict St. Michael fighting the dragon.
The right side is still pretty complete. One of the two capitals (see previous upload) depicts a group centered around a beard pulling merman. Two mermaids flank the merman, while two bearded humans (?) peep over the fins. Though the carving style is comparably rough, all faces are very individual.
