What is a "tribune"?
A tribune is an elevated platform or balcony within a church, often situated above the main entrance or in a prominent area. It serves various purposes, such as providing seating for special guests, musicians, or choirs, and enhancing the acoustics of the space. The tribune can also function as a location for displaying religious imagery or art. This architectural feature contributes to the overall design of the church by creating a sense of height and openness, while allowing for greater interaction between different levels of the building.
