    ... between the base and the capital. It can be smooth, fluted (with vertical grooves), or adorned with sculptures or decorative motifs.

  • Capital: The capital is the top part of a column, situated above the shaft. It can take different forms and styles depending on the type of architectural order to which the column belongs. Capitals can be adorned with intricate sculptures and often represent a transition between the shaft and the architectural element that rests on the column.

  • Entablature: The entablature is the horizontal structure that rests on the columns. It consists of three parts: the architrave (lower part), the frieze (middle part), and the cornice (upper part). The entablature provides a visual transition between the columns and the structure that surmounts them, such as a pediment or a roof.

  • Architectural Orders: Architectural columns are often classified into specific architectural orders, which define their proportions and stylistic characteristics. The most well-known orders are the Doric order, the Ionic order, and the Corinthian order. Each order has its own distinct proportions and ornamentation.
