portico altar Explanation: I believe portico altar is the right architectural term. See end p.9 and top of p.10.: "The result is that the vertical thrust of the façade and the forward projection of the portico anticipate the compositional arrangement of the high altar area on the interior so that the spiritual region is also enframed within a "portico-altar" device that fully mirrors the portico entrance of the exterior." http://digitool.library.mcgill.ca/webclient/StreamGate?folde... Or: Flemish Art and Architecture, 1585-1700, By Hans Vlieghe. Yale University Press: https://goo.gl/CcTpTs They use "porch altar" and porch in general here, but it's far less common. http://tojdac.org/tojdac/VOLUME6-AGUSPCL_files/tojdac_v060AG...
