A structure or place designed for carrying or conveying, or historically, a sedan chair used for ceremonial transportation.
From Latin 'gestatorium', a neuter noun derived from 'gestare' (to carry). This architectural and ceremonial term refers to a specific device or space built for the purpose of bearing or transporting someone.
The most famous gestatorium was the papal sedan chair—a ornate, canopied seat carried by attendants that made popes literally rise above the crowd during important ceremonies!
