medòn

Medòn is a term that can refer to several distinct concepts, most notably a type of fruit and a specific architectural feature.

As a fruit, Medòn refers to a variety of apple. These apples are typically known for their crisp texture and a balanced sweet-tart flavor profile. They are often used for fresh eating and can also be suitable for cooking and baking, though their specific culinary applications may vary. The origins and cultivation regions for Medòn apples can differ depending on the specific cultivar being discussed.

In architecture, medòn refers to a type of decorative molding or cornice. These architectural elements are commonly found along the upper edges of walls, ceilings, or the eaves of buildings. The primary function of a medòn is both aesthetic, adding visual interest and a sense of completion, and practical, often serving to conceal joints or transition between different surfaces. The design and complexity of medóns can vary greatly, from simple profiles to elaborate carved ornamentation, reflecting different architectural styles and periods. The term itself originates from architectural terminology used in certain European regions.
