Portal principal da igreja de S. Pedro de Rates | Main portal of the church of St. Peter of Rates (Póvoa de Varzim, Portugal)

The portal features five archivolts resting on colonnettes with profusely decorated capitals. In the tympanum, it displays the figure of Christ Pantocrator, set within a mandorla and flanked by two figures (prophets) trampling two other figures, most likely Judas and the heretic Arius. The voussoirs of the archivolts depict apostles and angels, while the capitals display mythical animals, mermaids, distorted human figures, masks, and other motifs.

The iconographic programme of the main portal, although drastically reduced, remains one of the most comprehensive examples of the Romanesque art in portuguese territory.
