Grand Porche, Cathedral Saint-Samson, Dol-de-Bretagne
West side of the Grand Porche of the Cathedral Saint-Samson, begun in the 13th century on the site of an older church and completed in the 18th century, in Dol-de-Bretagne, Brittany, France. The Grand Porche or West Porch was part of the earlier Romanesque church, but was modified in the 14th and 15th centuries, with later reliefs carved by Jean Boucher, 1870-1939. The cathedral is dedicated to one of the founding saints of Brittany and until 1801 was the seat of the archbishopric of Dol. Picture by Manuel Cohen
