1. Title: The Enchanting Facade of Church of St. Mary of Azogue in Betanzos, Galicia, Spain: A Gothic Masterpiece of the Late 14th and Early 15th Centuries 2. Description: This evocative image showcases the captivating front façade of the Church of St. Mary of Azogue, located in the historic town of Betanzos, in the Galicia region of Spain. Dating back to the late 14th and early 15th centuries, this architectural gem is a prime example of the Gothic art that flourished during the Middle Ages. The intricately decorated archivolts and tympanum are the focal points of this mesmerizing photograph. The tympanum is divided into two sections, with the upper portion depicting the Adoration of the Magi, and the lower section illustrating the Annunciation. In the Adoration scene, the Magi, led by Balthasar, Melchior, and Gaspar, pay homage to the infant Jesus, who lies on a throne surrounded by angels.

The archivolts are adorned with intricate geometric and geometrical designs, as well as sculpted figures, including angels and other religious symbols. The columns, capitals, and doorways are also richly decorated, adding to the overall grandeur and beauty of this architectural marvel. The Church of St. Mary of Azogue is a testament to the artistic and cultural heritage of Betanzos and Galicia, and a must-visit destination for anyone interested in the history and art of the Middle Ages.
