Ancient Greece Architecture

The Ancient Greeks built many impressive buildings, including temples, theatres and palaces. Ancient Greece architecture can be seen in many of the designs and styles we see today.

You will often see these designs in government buildings, museums and libraries, because modern democracy and arts are based on Ancient Greek ideas. Buildings tended to be symmetrical, with very high ceilings.

Examples of Ancient Greek styles being used in modern buildings are everywhere: for example the British Museum in London and The White House in Washington DC.
