Line 9: A '''portico''' is a [[porch]] leading to the entrance of a building, or extended as a [[colonnade]], with a roof structure over a walkway, supported by [[column]]s 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, Rome\|Pantheon]] in [[Rome]] and the portico of [[University College London]]. Porticos are sometimes topped with [[pediments]]. <!-- [[Bologna]], [[Italy]], is famous for its porticos. In total, there are over {{convert\|45\|km\|0\|abbr=on}} of [[Arcade (architecture)\|arcades]], some 38 in the city center. The longest portico in the world, about {{convert\|3.5\|km\|0\|abbr=on}}, extends from the edge of the city to [[Sanctuary of the Madonna di San Luca, Bologna\|Sanctuary of the Madonna di San Luca]]. In [[Bologna]], [[Italy]], porticos stretch for {{convert\|18\|km\|0\|abbr=on}}. [There appears to be some confusion here, perhaps with ''arcade''.] --> [[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]].
