In Greece they were really religious so it makes sense that their temples were the biggest and most beautiful buildings. The greeks came up with three architectural systems called orders, that were very detailed. The orders were called Doric, Ionic, and Corinthian. As we talked about in class the Doric were the boring and kind of plain pillars, the Ionic got a little better and a little fancier towards the top, and lastly the Corinthian is the best and the prettiest. Even in todays world we see these big pillars in front of banks, court houses, and many more buildings.
