Three Examples of Ancient Greek Building

The Coliseum 
By the 20th century, a combination of weather, natural disasters, neglect and vandalism had destroyed nearly two-thirds of the original Coliseum, including all of the arena’s marble seats and its decorative elements.

The Porch of the Maidens:
 better known as Caryatids, is on the southwest side of the Erechtheum. The Maidens hold up the top of the           buildings like Columns. 

                                            

  
Temple Concord was founded in 1839 by German immigrants drawn to upstate New York by the new Erie      Canal.  The group incorporated under the laws of the State of New York on February 24, 1942, first took the name  “Comrades of Peace” and shortly thereafter Keneseth Shalome, which they translated in formal English as Temple Society of Concord

  1. The Coliseum is in Rome, not Greece.

    I'm not sure what your paragraph on the third building has to do with ancient Greek architecture!
