Palladian window
A Palladian window is a large, elegant type of window that features a central arched section flanked by two smaller, rectangular side windows. Named after the architect Andrea Palladio, it combines classical design elements with symmetry and proportion. Often used in architecture for its aesthetic appeal, the window creates a sense of grandeur and openness, especially in stately buildings or homes. The arch in the middle usually creates a focal point, while the side sections complement it, making the overall design balanced and harmonious.
