The course aims to provide a general view  of the Greek temples, from  the Geometric period till the Hellenistic age.

Temple architecture played a central role not only in the classical architecture, but also in the modern architecture. After a brief introduction on the cult practices, in order to better understand the monuments, will be discussed materials and building techniques, temple plans and architectural orders, always using a scientific language. Then, through a diachronic selection of significant contexts and monuments will be illustred the most important evidences concerning the Greek temples. Each temple will be introduced through outlines of historical studies, positioned  in its historical and geographical context, related to the more relevant ancient literary sources, analyzed  in its own peculiar components, contextualized in the political, economical, social and cultural system that promoted the construction of it.
