Architecture
Greek architecture is known for it's columns. There are three types of columns: Doric, Ionic, and Corinthian. Other types of Greek art include pottery, sculptures, and paintings. Every city had a temple that was dedicated to a specific god. They went there to worship and make sacrifices. Some leaders like Pericles and Alexander The Great, spread Greek architecture through out Europe.
We see Greek influence in architecture today in important buildings. The White House Capitol Building, The Supreme Court and The Lincoln Memorial all have columns that show Greek influence.
