Argol Parish close

The "arc de triomphe" style entrance to the enclos' cemetery has a semicircular central arch with fluted pilasters with ionic capitals, flanked by two semicircular side arches, above which are square turrets and a pediment inscribed with the date '1659'.

[6] There is a 3 metre high equestrian statue just outside the enclos which depicts King Gradlon and celebrates the Breton legend of the city of Ys.

On the right side of the monument there is an account of the legend from a Christian point of view and on the left the pagan version is given.

The crosspiece also bears the arms of abbot Tanguy and an inscription reading "IAN GVEN-QUALEC, Y. GAL 1617".

On the crosspiece and on either side of the depiction of Jesus on the cross are statues of the Virgin Mary, her hands clasped and her eyes tearful (she is back to back with a statue depicting an apostle) and John the Evangelist whose head is turned slightly towards Jesus.

He wears a sash bearing the words "GARDE QU’IL FERA LE ROY ESTANT JUGERA".

To his right an angel blows on a trumpet and on his left a supplicant wrapped in a shroud stands awaiting judgement, his eyes closed.

On the door is a medallion depicting Saint Peter fishing, with open collar and sleeves rolled up.
