Definition
A covered entrance or vestibule that comes before the main porch of a building.
Etymology
From Latin 'ante' (before) + 'porch' (from Late Latin 'porticus,' meaning colonnade or covered way). Architectural term for a preliminary entrance structure.
Kelly Says
Medieval cathedrals and Byzantine churches used anteporches as spiritual thresholds—they created a gradual transition from the secular outside world into the sacred interior space.
