Decorated with finials, which are ornamental knobs or spikes at the tops of structures or objects.
From finial (from Medieval Latin 'finalis' meaning final or end) plus -ed suffix. Finials were originally called 'finals' because they marked the end or top of something architectural.
Medieval architects used finials on church spires and castle towers not just for decoration—they actually helped protect the structure from lightning strikes by conducting electricity safely to the ground, making them both beautiful and practical safety devices.
