An architectural style featuring seven columns, especially across the front of a building or temple.
From Greek 'hepta' (seven) + 'stylos' (column), describing classical architecture with seven vertical supports.
While hexastyle (six columns) and octastyle (eight columns) buildings survive, heptastyle structures are rare—seven is an unlucky architectural number apparently!
