An architrave is the horizontal beam or section that rests directly on top of columns or supports in a building. It forms the lowest part of the structure above the columns and is often used in classical architecture. The architrave helps to distribute the weight from the roof or upper structure onto the columns below. In addition to its structural role, the architrave is usually decorated to add elegance to the overall design, making it a key element in many ancient Greek, Roman, and Renaissance buildings. It contributes to both the function and beauty of the architecture.
