A building, especially a temple, with six columns at its front.
From Greek 'hexa-' (six) and 'stylos' (column). Classical architectural terminology describing temple layouts.
Architects named temple styles by their column count—a hexastyle building is rarer than tetrastyle (four) or octastyle (eight), making it memorable and distinctive in ancient cityscapes!
