One of the six supporting columns, I'm not 100% sure on how the roof load transfers its force through these members but undoubtedly the diagonal members must assist in the dispersal of a substantial amount of the load from above.

The above image shows the seperate roof members meeting, there is no vertical support underneath this location however so obviously structural loads are not apparent here.
