Pilaster

a vertical, rectangular or flattened column-like element that is typically attached to a wall and often features a capital, base, and entablature

Examples

1. Two pilasters painted red, as you can see.

2. It has a couple of columns on bases and pilasters, one on either side.

3. We see again a podium that also has arches, as you can see, and then on the front of those arches, in this case, great pilasters.

4. Think of the Colosseum: the scheme of arches with pilasters or columns in between them, engaged into the wall, as you can see so well here.
