The terms monopteros, monopteral and monopteron are used to describe a building with a single row of columns (or pteron) on all sides. The building is typically circular and lacks walls, so the colonnade supports the roof.

During ancient Greek and Roman times, monopteros frequently served as temples (referred to as monopteron temples) without inner chambers or cella.

This style of building later appeared in baroque and neoclassical architecture, sometimes featured in European gardens in the form of follies, eyecatchers, pavilions or gazebos.
