The Catedral de Santa Maria in Tudela was erected late 12th century on the place, where the Great Mosque of Tudela (9th c.) had stood before. The cathedral is really large (65m x 52m) but unfortunately was closed, so I could not see the well known cloister. I was very impressed by the late-Romanesque "Puerta del Juicio". The slightly pointed portal, created wirthin the 13th century, has eight archivolts and 122 different icons. The right side of the portal gives the onlooker an inside view into the heaven, that seems to be a very communicative place. All "members" here wear a nimbus - and crowns and mitras are allowed as well.
