Doric Architecture

There are many types of architecture that make up Ancient Greece. One of the very first types were Doric. The structure was very bulky and plain, many refer to it as a more masculine design. The material that the Greeks used to build this Doric structure was coarse limestone and Parian marble. The Doric structure was used to build the Parthenon, which was the temple of Athena. The Parthenon was built back in the 5th century. Besides the Parthenon they used this style to build the Heraeum at Olympus and the Basilica at Paestum.
