The narthex is a transitional space often found in religious buildings, such as cathedrals or temples. It serves as an entryway or foyer, located at the main entrance of the structure. Typically adorned with decorative elements and architectural features, it acts as a buffer zone between the outside world and the sacred interior. The narthex can be symbolically represented by 🏰🚪🛕, evoking the grandeur of a castle's entrance, the threshold of a doorway, and the elegance of a temple-like structure.
