This is known as a Parthenon and is a very important structure that was created in Athens Greece. It was made of ivory and had beautiful gold designs on them. They were dedicated to their God athena and were made primarily of slabs stacked on top of each other to create pillars, a design that would stick around and is still used today.


This is an amphitheater and is another large engineering feat of the Ancient Greeks. It is the first ever version of a theater ever created and there are even some in existence today. they were made of the rock in the side of the hill it was placed on. The use of this is for many people to be able to view something at once.


This is a structure known as a peristyle court and they were common among Greek city-states. they were most commonly made of ivory. this is a structure that was like a square doughnut. it is a square building with a square hole in the middle in which you were able to access for whatever the space was used for. this was a common theme for many temples in which to worship Gods and the design is still used today.
