In classical architecture, the entablature is the horizontal superstructure of moldings and bands that lies above the columns. It is a key component of the classical orders, consisting of three main parts: the architrave (the lowest part), the frieze (the middle part), and the cornice (the uppermost part). The entablature is a significant decorative and structural element, contributing to the visual richness and stability of a building.
