συμμετρία
‘Συμμετρία’ is the quality of being made up of exactly similar parts facing each other or around an axis. In aesthetics, it creates a sense of balance, order, and formal perfection. While often considered beautiful, some modern art intentionally breaks symmetry to create tension or dynamism.

Η πρόσοψη του ναού έχει απόλυτη συμμετρία.
