This is an ancient greek temple in Paestum which is near the coast of modern day Italy. Paestum is known to have many preserved Greek temples. The people did not go inside the temples unless they were bringing offerings to the statue. They worshipped outside and the temple was more meant to honor a statue. The rows of columns and triangular roofs were some of the key architecture.
This is the theatre and temple of Apollo at Delphi. This theatre is built further up the hill past the temple of Apollo. There are 35 rows that can accomodate up to five thousand people. The chorus preformed in the center space (orchestra). The actors preformed on the stage (skene). The underground tiered seating allowed everyone with a perfect view of the stage.
Excellent choices, Avery!
