loggia
(redirected from loggias)

   Also found in: Dictionary/thesaurus, Wikipedia 0.02 sec.

loggia

Hall, gallery, or porch open to the air on one or more sides. It evolved in the Mediterranean region as an open sitting room with protection from the sun. It is often a roofed, arcaded open gallery on an upper story overlooking a court, though it can also be a separate arcaded or colonnaded structure. In medieval and Renaissance Italy, it was often used in conjunction with a public square, as in Florence's Loggia dei Lanzi (begun 1376).

These loggias are separate from, but visually related to, the shared spaces.
