The principale, a term commonly used in Spain to refer to the main entrance or facade of a building, holds great significance in various locations across different eras. In Hondarribia, also known as Fuenterrabia, the Calle Mayor showcases an enchanting principal entrance that leads visitors into its captivating streets. Meanwhile, at the Louvre Museum in France, an engraving depicts the detail of its principal entrance facing the Seine River, inspired by a 16th-century painting from Saint-Germain des Pres. Moving on to La Ferte-Milon's Chateau, a color photograph captures the grandeur of its principal facade. The view extends further back in time with an image depicting Bethlehem and its convent during the 1800s. Taranto's Villa Peripato presents another example with its black and white photo showcasing the ingresso principale. Florence's Or san Michele church is depicted through an engraving displaying its magnificent principal facade designed by Andrea Orcagna. Similarly, another photo takes us back to 1559-60 when a stunning principal facade was built elsewhere. In Paris during 1849, an engraving illustrates the Exposition des produits de l'industrie at Champs-Elysees' entree principale. Orleans' Hotel de Ville exhibits both its impressive principal facade and right pavilion through a colorful photograph. Lastly, we travel all the way to Tangier in Morocco where Rue Principale and Petit Soko intersect while Toulouse's Capitole displays its vibrant color photo capturing their majestic Facade principale overlooking Place du Capitole. These diverse examples demonstrate how "principale" serves as more than just an entryway; it represents architectural beauty and historical significance throughout different regions and periods.
