bronze door

Copper-alloy portal

A bronze door is a door made of or clad in bronze, typically found at the entrances of important buildings—cathedrals, government buildings, banks, museums.

Bronze doors often feature decorative panels with relief sculptures depicting religious or historical scenes.

The term evokes permanence and grandeur: The bronze doors of the baptistery are considered masterpieces of Renaissance art.
