DescriptionThe door was commissioned in the 1630s for the chapel in Granada’s City Hall. The lower section of the door shows the heraldic symbol of the city of Granada, a pomegranate with a royal crown. St Gregory and St Cecil, former bishops of the city, are depicted next in a pose reminiscent of the Italian Renaissance with their names written above them. Both saints are set within a frame of classical architecture simulating niches over a high plinth. The inner side of the door contains two oil paintings of Saint Paul and St Anthony represented with their attributes in a similar composition to Gregory and Cecil.
