The Cathedral does feature a couple of very impressive thirteenth century doorways with a myriad of statues. The north door (above) is the best, with some fairly standard iconography: the twelve apostles (two are cut out of the picture), Christ Pantokrator in the middle. Scenes from the life of Jesus, including the very visible Last Supper. The arches seem to include some visual allegories of people struggling with sin.
The western door is also interesting. I have no idea what this guy is supposed to be.
