A portico (from Italian) is a porch leading to the entrance of a building, or extended as a colonnade, with a roof structure over a walkway, supported by columns or enclosed by walls. This idea was widely used in Ancient Greece and has influenced many cultures, including most Western cultures.
Some noteworthy examples of porticos are the East Portico of the United States Capitol, the portico adorning the Pantheon in Rome and the portico of University College London.
Bologna, Italy, is famous for its porticos. In total, there are over 45 kilometres of arcades, some 38 in the city center. The longest portico in the world, about 3.5 km (2 mi), extends from the edge of the city to Sanctuary of the Madonna di San Luca. In Turin, Italy, porticos stretch for 18 kilometres.
Palladio was a pioneer of using temple-fronts for secular buildings. In the UK, the temple-front applied to The Vyne, Hampshire was the first portico applied to an English country house.
A pronaos (UK: /proʊˈneɪ.ɒs/, US: /proʊˈneɪ.əs/) is the inner area of the portico of a Greek or Roman temple, situated between the portico's colonnade or walls and the entrance to the cella, or shrine. Roman temples commonly had an open pronaos, usually with only columns and no walls, and the pronaos could be as long as the cella. The word pronaos is Greek for "before a temple". In Latin, a pronaos is also referred to as an anticum or prodomus.

Pulling our a tune, never show
Let everybody know what you did
You know what you can take
Silence is a gun
When your eyes only see what you feel
Bring it back, the faults to your soul
And go easy, feels too hard at times
But you know what you can take
Silence is a gun
Fear is alive for you to run with
Fear is alive for me to cope with
There's a sign to be too weak and
There's a stranger in your heart
There's a stranger in your eyes
So there's a silent beating
There's a ghost for everyone, I know
Fear is alive for you to run with
Fear is alive for me to cope with
There's a sign to be too weak and
There's a stranger in your heart
When you go, when you go
You have it all, inside you're tough
When you go, when you go
You have it all, inside you're tough
There's a stranger
There's a stranger in your eyes
Fear is alive for you to run with
Fear is alive for me to cope with
There's a sign to be too weak and
There's a stranger in your eyes
