Pediment, a prominent architectural feature found in various structures around the world, adds an exquisite touch to buildings and temples. From banks and shops in Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania, USA to the Christ Church in Savannah, Georgia, USA, pediments have become synonymous with grandeur and elegance. One cannot help but marvel at the Pantheon and Fountain in Rome, Italy where the intricate design of the pediment captivates visitors from all corners of the globe. Similarly, at the Met Opera in New York City, USA; its back view showcases a stunning display of artistic mastery through its pediment. Dating back to 1857 by Robert MacPherson's lens captures the timeless beauty of Pantheon's pediment. The Al Khazneh Temple in Petra Jordan boasts an awe-inspiring pediment that stands as a testament to ancient craftsmanship. The temple of Artemis on Corfu features a gorgon and panthers on its pediment - a mesmerizing sight that transports one into Greek mythology. Meanwhile, atop Athens' Acropolis lies Parthenon's East Pediment which dates back to 438-432 BC; it tells stories from ancient Greece through intricately carved sculptures. Oldway Mansion located in Paignton Devon is another example where this architectural element takes center stage. Even after enduring fire damage like London Hop Exchange did during an unfortunate incident; their majestic pediments still stand tall showcasing resilience amidst adversity. Greece continues to be home for some remarkable examples such as Athens' Parthenon with its horse head sculpture from chariot racing depicted on its magnificent pediments or Three Goddesses Hestia Dione Aphrodite adorning East Pediment telling tales of divine power and grace. Whether it is adorning banks or temples across continents like Europe or America or even depicting mythical creatures or gods from ancient times; these captivating structures prove that when it comes to architecture - there is nothing quite as captivating and awe-inspiring as the pediment.
