Loggia
This space along a building's facade has walkways covered
Whereas a colonnade is a series of columns spaced evenly, a loggia is the room or recess created along the facade of a building where the colonnade and roof create a covered porch or walkway. Loggias can be at ground level or elevated.
This is the perfect way to picture a loggia; it surrounds the building's exterior like a covered porch.
The loggia is the recessed part you see when you look through the columns.
This open-sided gallery is also called a loggia.
The loggia runs on either side of the entrance, or portico, of this Mediterranean-style building.
The colonnade of this loggia features stacked stone.
A loggia can be created even with wood posts, as in this French chateau.
Loggias don't have to be classical tapered columns and arches, as seen with this contemporary version with mortar brick and stained timber.
Resembling a loggia, this covered entrance is also called a portico because it leads to an entrance.
