Porte Miègeville, Romanesque door at Basilica of St. Sernin, Toulouse, France
The Miègeville Door features a sculpted tympanum depicting Christ's Ascension with six angels and twelve apostles on the lintel below.
Created around 1090, this portal stands as one of the first monumental doorways with carved tympanums in medieval French architecture.
The tympanum incorporates representations of biblical stories, including Adam and Eve, while the lintel shows apostles looking upward at Christ.
Visitors can access the door through the Rue du Taur, with opening hours from 8:30 AM to 6:15 PM Monday through Saturday.
The name Miègeville derives from Occitan 'mièjo vilo,' referring to its position facing the center of medieval Toulouse.
