WHAT DOES MONOPTEROS MEAN IN ENGLISH?

monopteros

Monopteros

A monopteros is a circular colonnade supporting a roof but without any walls. Unlike a tholos, it does not have a cella. In Greek and especially Roman antiquity the term could also be used for a tholos. In ancient times monopteroi served inter alia as a form of baldachin for an idol. An example of this is the Monument of Lysicrates in Athens, albeit the spaces between the columns were walled in, even in ancient times. The Temple of Rome and Augustus on the Athens Acropolis is a monopteros from Roman times with open spaces between the columns. Cyriacus von Ancona, a 15th-century traveller, handed down his architrave inscription: Ad praefatae Palladis Templi vestibulum. In baroque and classicist architecture, the monopteros as a "muses' temple" is a popular motif in English and French gardens. The monopteros also occurs in German parks, although it usually only has four to eight columns. Greater numbers of columns are rarer. The monopteros in the English Garden in Munich and a temple in Hayns Park in Hamburg-Eppendorf are well-known examples. Many wells in parks and spa centres have the appearance of a monopteros.
