Estipite

Estipite in the Church of Caravaca de la Cruz.

The estipite column is a type of column or pilaster typical of the Churrigueresque baroque style of Spain and Spanish America used in the 18th century.[1] It was introduced between 1720 and 1760. The column has the shape of an inverted cone or obelisk.[2] The column combines features of both late Baroque and Mannerist.[3]
