The portals at Chartres Cathedral are called the Royal Portals because they feature sculptural decorations depicting scenes related to the Old Testament Kings and Queens, such as King Solomon and the Queen of Sheba. These portals were traditionally used by royalty and important dignitaries for entering the cathedral during special ceremonies or events.
