In this article, we analyze how columns are used and to what extent they determine the architectural characteristics of the church of San Miguel de Escalada. This leads us to two important features of Escalada.<br>1. <i>Spolia</i> columns were not necessarily used as substitutes for those made ex <i>profeso</i>, but in fact played a pivotal role at the time of the building's conception, especially from aesthetic point of view.<br>2. The inherent incongruity between masonry walls and monolithic columns leads to quite distinguishable features where the two elements meet. In the case of Escalada, we can observe a growing interest in keeping the independence and wholeness of the columns adjacent to the walls.
