Sant Pau del Camp

Sant Pau del Camp (Catalan for 'Saint Paul of the countryside' / 'in the fields'; IPA: [ˈsam ˈpaw ðəl ˈkam]) is a church and former monastery in Barcelona, Catalonia, Spain.

While the monastery now stands within the El Raval district in central Barcelona, it once stood outside the city (before 14th century); its rural location gave the church its name.

It features lobular arcades supported by double columns, whose capitals are decorated by biblical and daily life scenes, animals, monsters and vegetable motifs.

The entrance doorway has two columns with ancient marble Visigothic capitals, while in the tympanum is depicted Christ in Majesty with Saints Paul and Peter.
