colonnaded
Flanked by pillars
Colonnaded describes something having or supported by a colonnade—a row of columns typically supporting a roof or series of arches.
The term appears in architectural descriptions: a colonnaded walkway, the colonnaded facade of the museum.
Colonnaded spaces suggest classical grandeur, evoking Greek temples or Roman forums.
