Descripción
Architectural order characterized by columns having spiraling shafts or spiraling lines incised in the shafts, designed to resemble the legendary columns of the lost Temple of Solomon in Jerusalem, which by tradition had sprialing columns. Although versions of this order were seen earlier, the elements of this order were described in detail by Jesuit theorists, particularly Juan Bautista Villalpando.
