The Parthenon The architect picked the site of their sanctuary deliberately. When one enters the Acropolis through the Propylaia and as they leave the Propylaia, one is able to give a perspective of the structure from the north west. This is an exceptionally forcing view, and was intended to awe everybody who saw it. As you stroll around the Acropolis, on will be able to see the Parthenon from numerous perspectives and whatever the advantage -or absence of it, in old Greece, you cannot neglect to leave the Acropolis without some esteem for the individuals who planned and manufactured the sanctuary to Athena Pantheons. Ancient Greece is regularly viewed as the support of the modern world. Its art, writing, political thought, and even it’s exceptionally dialect have impacted modern culture for a huge number of years, and keep on influencing us today. One exceptionally clear territory of impact is design. Just take a gander at the downtown of almost any significant city in the U.S., or large portions of the considerable urban areas of Europe. Ancient Greek impact is sneaking inside the exteriors of structures as shifted as the Lincoln Memorial in Washington, D.C., the Prado Museum in Madrid, and Downing College, Cambridge University, in Cambridge, England. The Parthenon is a source of the different pillars and buildings. The figure indicated is the Parthenon (Osborne 5).

Temple of Hephaestus in Athens
The temple of Hephaestus in Athens, Attica is found in Greece and was a dedication for the Hephaestus (Kontogianni and Georgopoulos, 2015). Hephaestus was the god of Athena and fire and was built in 450 BC. The reference has 6 sections on the short east and west sides and 13 on the north and south sides. Its friezes and different embellishments have been enormously harmed by seismic tremors and intrusions along the hundreds of years. The reference is situated in Thissio, inside a short separation from the Acropolis and Monastiraki, simply over the Ancient Agora and the Stoa of Attalos. It was worked from Pentelic marble, while its figures are made of Parian marble. It has a pronaos, a cell and an opisthodomos. The reference is fringe, with sections that encompass the focal encased cella (Kontogianni and Georgopoulos, 2015). The ideas that were used in the development of the temple have been used in the development of the modern architectural products.

Roof Design of the Temple of Hera
It was amid the center of the 7C BC that work started on the Temple of Hera. At first it was a genuinely little structure, around 10m by 40m. In around 600 BC and opisthodomos was included, together with a ring of segments. The last measurements of the temple were 18.75m by 50m, generously bigger than the first. By later norms it was long and contract, and looked rather squat and substantial (Klein, 2016). In any case, the temple is imperative, since it is one of the most established cases of amazing temple development in antiquated Greece. In the modern day, the Temple of Hera has been a source of knowledge for the architects has it is fundamental in the development of the buildings such as the white house.
