façade?

Hi there, I'm not too sure, because they also have the word fachada, but I think it refers to the façade of a church or cathedral. Perhaps you could leave it in Spanish, in italics, and then provide an explanation?

possibly \"West Front\". Which apparently has become a common synonym for a façade.
