Of the three columns found in Greece, Doriccolumns are the simplest. They have a capital which isthe top, or crown, made of a circle topped by a square.The shaft, the tall part of the column, is plain and has20 sides. There is no base in the Doric order. TheDoric order is very plain, but powerful-looking in itsdesign. Doric, like most Greek styles, work wellhorizontally on buildings, that's why it was so goodwith the long rectangular buildings made by theGreeks. The area above the column, called the frieze,had simple patterns. Above the columns are the metopes and triglyphs. The metope is a plain,smooth stone section between triglyphs. Sometimes the metopes had statues of heroes or godson them. The triglyphs are a pattern of 3 vertical lines between the metopes.
There are many examples of ancient Doric buildings. Perhaps the most famous one isthe Parthenon in Athens, which is probably the most famous and most studied building onEarth. Buildings built even now borrow some parts of the Doric order.
The ParthenonThe Hephaisteion, in Athens, is another good example of the Doric order. In this picture, you can clearly see the parts of the Doric order described above and shown in the illustration to the left.
