Plan of a Typical Greek Temple

The numbers below correspond to the circled numbers above. The names for the parts of the temple are in red after each number.

1. Stereobate (or substructure).

2. Stylobate.

3. Colonnade (or peristyle).

4. Porch (or pronaos).

5. Cella (or naos).

6. Rear porch (or opisthodomus).

Note: 80% of all Greek temples face east so the cult idol, with the doors to the cella open, faces the rising sun. Most face the sunrise on the day of the temple's foundation, presumably the god's festival day.
