Gallery of Gargoyles

Gargoyles, in addition to serving as drainage spouts, represent one of the most fascinating expressions of architectural sculpture. Placed high on cathedrals and churches, but also on civic buildings, they combine practical utility with iconography, projecting to the outside world a universe of fantastic creatures and monsters, demons, real animals, and human figures.

This section brings together a unique visual archive dedicated entirely to gargoyles. Visitors can explore collections organized by Spanish provinces, browse international galleries arranged by countries and cities, or access a general collection of more than two thousand images.

Each photograph has been documented in situ and is accompanied by a caption indicating its location. In this way, the page highlights not only the formal and thematic diversity of gargoyles but also their value as historical and artistic testimony and their ability to connect the past with the present.
