I hate columns like that. Everything else is kind of a (bad) choice, but those columns are just objectively wrong because masonry doesn't work like that.

I like that the lions don't quite fit on the gateposts.

I assume they’re wood inside.

But I completely agree how awful it looks.

I'm sure they are. They have to be, unless they're steel inside instead (which is unlikely), because you can't make real stacked-stone masonry that skinny and have it be stable.

And that's my problem with it: it's fraudulent. Not even in an intentional "flouting the rules to make a modernist point" kind of way either; just out of ignorant and lazy design.
