column

The word 'columna' in Spanish refers to a column, which is a vertical structural element that can be made of various materials like stone, wood, or metal. It often serves to support other structures such as roofs, arches, or ceilings. Additionally, in a more abstract sense, 'columna' can refer to a pillar of support or a section of content in a newspaper or magazine. In architecture, columns are not just functional but also decorative, often reflecting the style and aesthetics of the building.
