San Paio de Diomondi, west portal, inner right capitals, outer faces
An inscription on the inside of the tympanum of the west portal gives a date of 1170 for the setting of the lintel. These sculptors later carved nearly identical capitals for the west portal of San Pedro de Portomarín which bears an inscription recording a consecration of 1182.
