Claustro

"Claustro" typically refers to a "cloister," which is a covered walkway or corridor surrounding a courtyard, often found in monasteries, convents, or some academic institutions. It provides a peaceful, enclosed space for reflection, prayer, or study, offering a private retreat within a larger building.
