The Collection of Gargoyles brings together in a single space all the photographs published on this website, drawn from Spain and other countries. It is a broad and diverse photographic archive that makes it possible to contemplate, as a whole, the formal and iconographic richness of these architectural sculptures.

Unlike the sections organised by provinces or countries, this collection is presented in a random order, allowing for an open visual journey through very different kinds of figures: monsters, real or fantastic animals, demons, geometric forms, and human representations situated on buildings of widely differing types.

Each image is accompanied by a caption indicating its location, which reinforces the documentary value of the whole. This section thus offers a global view of the photographic archive devoted to the study of gargoyles and makes it possible to appreciate, within a single journey, the geographical, formal, and iconographic breadth of these figures.
