A baldachin is a decorative covering that is often placed over an altar, throne, or important location within a church or public building. Typically supported by columns or posts, this ornate structure is designed to create a focal point and add a sense of grandeur to the space. Baldachins can be made from various materials, including fabric, wood, or metal, and are often richly decorated with carvings, paintings, or embroidery. They serve both an aesthetic and symbolic purpose, highlighting the significance of the area beneath them and enhancing the overall beauty of the architecture.
