The choice of the elements to draw, whether animals or figures, was made according to the importance of each element in the context of the portals. This criterion takes particularly into account the symbolism of the figures represented in the gothic/manueline movement. All this work is mainly focused on the drawing based on the material gathered from the research carried out over recent months, seeking a new approach to a subject less explored, and helping to identify and clarify many of the sculptures, some of them already quite worn due to the passage of time over five centuries. Being a work of artistic design, using the aid of the conventions, methodologies and drawing techniques applied within the schientific design. This was added by archaelogical design. Therefore we can obtain a better understanding and interpretation of some elements of difficult recognition, or even unrecognizable ate first look. This will help to disclose any doubts regarding the shape/design of some elements. This work has a pratical application as a component essentially informative and communicational about the real dimension and importance of the South Entrance, with the possibility of its orientation for tourism
