Roofed gathering places

Pavilions is the plural of pavilion, a structure that serves as a shelter or gathering place, typically open-sided or lightly enclosed.

Pavilions range from ornamental garden structures to large temporary tents at fairs and exhibitions to wings of larger buildings like hospitals.

Sports venues often have pavilions where spectators can gather or teams can rest.
