Interesting Facts about Temple Construction in Ancient Greece

As early as 600 BC, the Greeks laid the first foundations for classical temple construction, which was perfected by the 4th century BC. Typical are the three orders of columns: Doric, Ionic, and Corinthian. Doric temples are characterized by robust, simple columns, while Ionic temples impress with more elegant capitals adorned with spiral ornaments. Corinthian temples feature particularly intricate leaf decorations. A temple served as the dwelling place of the gods for the Greeks. It was usually situated on a raised platform, the stylobate, and surrounded by steps. Inside was the cella, which typically housed a cult statue. Architectural details such as metopes, gable reliefs, and friezes contributed to the grandeur. Many designs followed strict proportional rules established in antiquity. Today, ancient temples have a great fascination for artists, historians, and architecture enthusiasts.
