Valréas - Notre-Dame-de-Nazareth

From the 14th century upto the French Revolution Valréas and some neighbouring regions were in the ownership of the Holy See. The region is still called "enclave des papes".

Notre-Dame-de-Nazareth was erected on preceding foundations. Within the 11th century a single nave church in Latin Cross design existed. Two aisles were already added in the 12th century. Numerous enlargements and alterations were done and eight side chapels were added over the centuries.

Here are some of the spolia, that got "reused" over the southern portal (previous upload). They are all very weathered. There is a tall headless person, two faces, a couple holding a tree/stick and a nice celtic / carolingian knot.
