Romanesque portal (Marcillé-Raoul)
The Romanesque portal in the cemetery of Marcillé-Raoul , a French commune in the Ille-et-Vilaine department in the Brittany region , comes from the church of St-Pierre, which was demolished in the 19th century. The portal was added to the list of architectural monuments in France in 1921 as Monument historique .
The granite Romanesque church stood in the middle of the cemetery. It was replaced by a new building erected in 1867 elsewhere.
The portal has two arches of different widths, which rest on the right and left on two set columns with capitals . These are decorated with vegetable motifs.
