The decorative column is not only historical, but also widely used in modern times, an architectural detail. Almost no serious architectural structure is complete without this element.

As a decorative decoration of the exterior of buildings, columns made of various materials are an integral part of the interior decoration of stylized, aesthetically elevated spaces.
