Colonnade

<h2 id="history">History</h2>
<p>Colonnades (formerly as colonade) have been built since ancient times and interpretations of the classical model have continued through to modern times, and Neoclassical styles remained popular for centuries.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:3" href="#fn:3"><sup>3</sup></a> At the <a href="/facts/British_Museum/mq5LadWV">British Museum</a>, for example, porticos are continued along the front as a colonnade.  The porch of columns that surrounds the <a href="/facts/Lincoln_Memorial/luwwCTEc">Lincoln Memorial</a> in <a href="/facts/Washington%2c_D.C./enXPK156">Washington, D.C.</a>, (in style a <i>peripteral</i> classical temple) can be termed a colonnade.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:4" href="#fn:4"><sup>4</sup></a> As well as the traditional use in buildings and monuments, colonnades are used in sports stadiums such as the <a href="/facts/Harvard_Stadium/F0tAcQjy">Harvard Stadium</a> in <a href="/facts/Boston/exjfn6xf">Boston</a>, where the entire horseshoe-shaped stadium is topped by a colonnade. The longest colonnade in the United States, with 36 <a href="/facts/Corinthian_column/2zCzPuH4">Corinthian columns</a>, is the <a href="/facts/New_York_State_Education_Building/o341zl9y">New York State Education Building</a> in Albany, New York.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:5" href="#fn:5"><sup>5</sup></a>
