a short visit to ... | ||||
Athens | ||||
24th to 26th October 2005 | ||||
doric columns | ||||
the design of the temple is a typical hexastyle (it had a front portico with 6 columns), and as with all Greek temples, the Poseidon building was rectangular, with a colonnade on all four sides; the total number of original columns was 42 but only 18 columns still stand today | ||||
