DESCRIZIONE:

It is the oldest known door of a christian church, made at the time of the churches construction (422-432) and reaching us today with minimal additions from the Eleventh Century and successive restorations. Today, 18 of the 28 original panels remain intact, depicting Scenes of the Old and New Testaments, attributed to a classical-hellenistic master working with popular motifs of late antiquity.
