The Romanesque door of Els Fillols (“the godchildren”) is known by this name since it was the entrance for all the babies brought in to be baptised.

It is the cathedral's most popular door, since apart from its monumental quality, it is the door with the most elaborately decorated arches or archivolts and an extremely meticulous sculptural style. If you look closely, the repertoire employed in the door’s decoration is composed, fundamentally, of geometric and plant motifs, although it includes a few very high-quality representational scenes, as is the case of the knight, dressed in chain mail, who fights against a lion, which you’ll find in the frieze or the horizontal strip to the left of the door.

The door of Els Fillols is the only door of the cathedral  which was covered by a portico in the 14th century to shelter godparents and the babies about to be baptised, which is why it is also the Seu Vella’s best-preserved door.
