Architectural elements from the classical period of Greece, Rome, and Egypt.
- Capital
In classical architecture, the capital is the uppermost part of a column, serving both a structural and decorative function. It mediates between the column shaft and the load it supports, often the architrave or entablature.
- Naos
The inner sanctuary of a classical temple, often containing an statue of the god.
- Portico
A covered entrance where the roof is supported by a series of columns, normally at the front entrance to a building.
