What is Ancient Greek Temple Architecture about?
Greek temples were rarely used for congregational worship like modern religious buildings, instead serving as homes for the gods. They had a predictable layout with a central cella housing a statue of the god, surrounded by columns. The Parthenon and Erechtheion on the Acropolis in Athens were two famous temples, with the Parthenon being a large Doric temple and the Erechtheion a smaller Ionic temple known for its Caryatids porch.
