On the south façade, the Door of Death, so called because of the figure of a skeleton with wings that is located inside one of the corbels. [barcelo.com]
The left portico [of the west façade] is called “Puerta de la Muerte” [Gate of Death] ....The name Puerta de la Muerte comes from the figure of a skeleton with wings. [http://madillcamino2014.blogspot.com]
I looked for this on my visit earlier this year, but I was unable to find it. I was probably looking in the wrong place. I asked people in the cathedral, but either my Spanish wasn't good enough, or they didn't know where it was.
Does anyone on the forum have a photo of this winged skeleton they'd like to share? Also its location?
