Le Douhet - Saint-Martial

In the center of Le Douhet, a village just 12 kms north east of Saintes, is Saint Martial, a 12th century structure, that had to be stabilized by buttresses within the 15th century, when a steeple was built.

The portal is richly decorated. Here are the archivolts over the entrance. The inner archivolt is centered by the Lamb, enframed by adoring angels. The outer archivolt has a Majestic Christ vertically in the center - and the apostles by the sides.
