Corinthian Architecture

Corinthian architecture was the last style they used in Ancient Greece. The style is rarely used during this time. The top of the column is very embellished with acanthus leaves. This style was used for the design in The Temple of Apollo at Bassae, but they did not fully use this style while building this structure. A couple other structures that used this style are the choragic monument of Lysicrates and The Temple of Zeus at Athens. These structures were built between 420BC and 2nd century AD. They also had used this style to build more known architecture of Ancient Greece, the Pantheon, and Propylaea.
