Plan of a Typical Greek Temple
The numbers below correspond to the circled numbers above. The names
for the parts of the temple are in red after
each number.
1. Stereobate (or substructure).
2. Stylobate.
3. Colonnade (or peristyle).
4. Porch (or pronaos).
5. Cella (or naos).
6. Rear porch (or opisthodomus).
Note: 80% of all Greek temples face east so the cult idol, with the
doors to the cella open, faces the rising sun. Most face the sunrise on
the day of the temple's foundation, presumably the god's festival day.
