Sometimes, however, the cornice is joined to the architrave in the deletion of the frieze and thus forms what is called a coving, as in the coronation of the portico of the coving in Athens, and sometimes, above the solid parts of construction, a looming astrological or some other molding surmounted by a frieze and a cornice without any architrave itself as the Strozzi Palace in Florence.
