colonnade

Retired Californian couples fanned themselves under the square's colonnades, and journalists from around the world shouted questions in shaky Italian at any cardinal who looked like they may have a vote in the upcoming conclave.

Among the options under consideration is the opening of a new entrance to the Louvre beneath the colonnades at the palace's eastern end.

Linked by colonnades stood two pavilions - one, a chapel; the other, a library.

Sher’s staging situates the action on a raised platform surrounded by stone facades and colonnades.

Among the restored sections are some of the palace's massive colonnades.
