👉 A signorial is a type of architectural element that typically appears on the exterior walls of buildings, particularly in Gothic and Renaissance styles. Signorial elements are typically adorned with ornate decorations such as sculptures or carvings, often depicting scenes from the Bible or other religious texts. Signorial architecture often emphasizes symmetry and order, and some examples include the dome of Notre-Dame Cathedral in Paris, France, and the façades of cathedrals in Italy.
