The apocalyptic tale that initially started in the crypt and developed through the figures located in pillars, columns and archivolts of the Portico of Glory achieves its zenith in the central arch. Standing in front of the partially polychromed attached sculptures from the tympanum, we witness what Serafín Moralejo pointed to be the instauration of a New Covenant and the consummation of the Last Judgement.
