porticoes
Roofed column walkways
Porticoes is the plural of portico, a covered entrance or porch supported by columns, typically attached to a building's facade.
Classical architecture features porticoes prominently—Greek temples, government buildings, and stately homes often have them: The museum's porticoes provided shelter from the rain.
The alternate plural porticos is equally correct.
