“They mark a long east-west colonnade that links a series of discrete rooms clad in sprayed earth and topped with curved zinc roofs.”

“A colonnade, on the north, is formed of six Ionic columns, and on the east is an entrance through an orangery.”

“It consists of a central block with two small temples forming pavilions, all with grand porticoes and linked by colonnades.”

“Columns, marble, balance, colonnades, the girl thought, as she scanned through her paper.”

“Step across its threshold and you brush against a time when these colonnades shaded both piety and intrigue.”
