The column-bearing lion guarding the entrance to Parma Cathedral

Il leone stiloforo a guardia dell'ingresso del Duomo di Parma

The stylophorus lion guarding the entrance to the Parma Cathedral.
The Parma Cathedral has its main entrance guarded by these two lions (stylophores).
I recently took several photos of this type of statue, almost always lions, at the entrance to historic (and less so) buildings.

The stylophoros is an architectural term derived from Greek and meaning “style bearer”, that is, column bearer. It is used to indicate those sculptures of animals or fantastic monsters placed at the base of the supporting columns of the porches or even pulpits usually in Romanesque churches. Unlike the caryatid, a sculpture that replaces the entire column by acting as a support for the trabeation, the stylophoros constitutes only the base of the column.

The facade of the cathedral of Santa Maria Assunta overlooks Piazza Duomo, on the opposite side to the Bishop's Palace. It is gabled, with a wall facing in squared stone blocks. The lower part is smooth, without decorations; here the three portals open: the two smaller lateral ones, the larger central one, each of which is slightly splayed and is surmounted by a lunette closed with glass windows.
