The Parthenon:   The Pantheon is supposedly one of the most important buildings of classical Greece. The Pantheon was made based of the Doric order, which was a popular way to make buildings in Ancient Greece. The Parthenon was a building dedicated to the goddess of Athens, Athena. Before that it was a former Athenian Acropolis. As the Athenian empire was at its peak in 447 BCE that's when the construction started on this building. Some of the design of this building also belongs to the Ionic order. The Ionic order: People identified the Ionic order by its vaulted capital. There are some similarities between the Doric design and the Ionic design such that The cushion placed on top of the column is shaped like the Doric order. In Ionic order, columns are very narrow with shallow flutes that do not make a sharp edge, but have a flat band between them.
