Greco-Roman Architecture

Greco-Roman architecture refers to the architectural styles and techniques developed in ancient Greece and Rome. This style is characterized by the use of columns, symmetry, and proportion. Key elements include the Classical orders—Doric, Ionic, and Corinthian columns—and the use of domes and arches. Landmarks such as the Parthenon in Athens and the Pantheon in Rome exemplify this architecture's grandeur and emphasis on balance. Greco-Roman architecture has significantly influenced Western architecture, inspiring buildings like government structures and museums that still reflect its timeless principles.
