Estipite in the Basilica of la Vera Cruz in Caravaca de la Cruz, Region of Murcia, Spain.Estitipes on the facade of the Parroquia Antigua in Salamanca, State of Guanajuato, Mexico.
The estipite column is a type of pilaster typical of the Churrigueresque Baroque style of Spain and Spanish America used in the 18th century.[1] In the late Baroque period, many classical architectural elements lost their simple shapes and became increasingly complex, offering variety of forms and exuberant decoration.[2] Therefore, the column has the shape of an inverted cone or obelisk. The shaft is always wider in its middle part than the base and capital.[3][4] The column combines features of both late Baroque and Mannerist.[5] It was widely used between 1720 and 1780.[6]
