User:Diego Moya/Half baked/Fina
The Fina and Sabat in Mediterranean architecture are two related spaces used in urban design. They are used to describe design elements within popular or traditional architectural elements.
- The Fina is the approximately 1-meter-wide public space alongside buildings.
- The Sabat is a room built in the air space between the Finas on both sides of a narrow street, without obstructing the right-of-way.
