Notes	The inscription is located above the main portal of the church on its southwestern façade. The portal is framed by profiled jambs and a lintel, with a polygonal inscription panel above it. The panel is enclosed by a profiled border in low relief, ending in larger and smaller volutes. At the top, the volutes are flanked by a lily motif. Leafy vegetal motifs adorn the lower part of the inscription panel. The inscription is based on a quote from the Book of Genesis (28:17): "Shaken, he exclaimed: 'How awesome is this place! Truly, this is the house of God, this is the gate of heaven!'"
