Architecture / Church architecture
Spanish term or phrase: cuerpo
I've seen cuerpo as "structure" or "section" but I'm not sure if that would be right here. Am I missing something more specific?

En primer término, llama la atención la extensa fachada churrigueresca, labrada en estuco y en su color.
Al igual que la de la capilla precedente, se levanta también sobre un alto zócalo de mármol negro.
Delante de las pilastras aparecen las imágenes de San XX y San XX.
Tanto las pilastras como el arco del **segundo cuerpo** aparecen ricamente decorados con motivos florales, grutescos, ángeles y otras alegorías.

Thanks!
