The Gniezno Doors (Polish: Drzwi Gnieźnieńskie, latin Porta Ene, Porta Regia) are a set of bronze doors in Gniezno Cathedral in Gniezno, Poland. The doors are decorated with eighteen scenes from the life of St. Adalbert of Prague. According to Archidiosese of Gniezno [1] they were made about 1175 in Gniezno during rule of Mieszko III the Old and are one of the most significant work of romanesque art in Poland. According to a German sociologist Dietmar Albrecht (Ostsee Akademie), the bronze doors were made at Hildesheim.^{[citation needed]} Image File history File linksMetadata Size of this preview: 450 × 600 pixelsFull resolution (750 × 1000 pixel, file size: 563 KB, MIME type: image/jpeg) File links The following pages on the English Wikipedia link to this file (pages on other projects are not listed): Gniezno Doors Metadata This file contains...
