Italian term

barco

Italian to English Tech/Engineering Architecture
This is a text describing an old home in the Veneto:

Cá XXX, ora YYY, sorge su fondazioni medievali e quattrocentesche ed è una grande costruzione con parte padronale, barchessa e barchi di varie epoche.

Can anyone tell me what 'barchi' are?

I'd leave it in Italian and add a note
Note from asker:
Yes, this is the (almost the same) text translated rather badly. I'm glad they're asking me to translate it again! Since the other person didn't translate 'barchi', it didn't help me.

see explanation below

In old peasant residences, a 'barco' is a large room annexed to the house (usually upstairs) used as storage.

neutral Alessandra Renna : Sorry, Potra but also in the link you posted "barco" is a land enclosure for animals

Yes. I remembered someone referring to a room in an old house as a barco, I should have specified that.
