What is an "octagonal column"?
An octagonal column is a type of column that has eight sides, making it an eight-sided shape. This design can provide a unique appearance compared to traditional round columns, adding visual interest to a building. Octagonal columns are often used in various architectural styles, especially in religious and community buildings, where they can enhance both the structure's strength and aesthetic appeal. The eight-sided shape allows for more surface area for decoration, which can contribute to the overall design and character of the space.
