Ancient Roman temples were among the most important buildings in Roman culture... only a few survive in any sort of complete state.
The most common architectural plan had a rectangular temple raised on a high podium, with a clear front with a portico at the top of steps, and a triangular pediment above columns.
Public religious ceremonies of the official Roman religion took place outdoors.
Some remains of many Roman temples survive but the relatively few near-complete examples were nearly all converted to Christian churches.
Greek temples interiors too did not serve as meeting places, since the sacrifices and rituals dedicated to the respective deity took place outside them.
Greek temples were designed and constructed according to set proportions, mostly determined by the lower diameter of the columns or by the dimensions of the foundation levels. The nearly mathematical strictness of the basic designs thus reached was lightened by optical refinements.
In spite of the still widespread idealised image, Greek temples were painted - bright reds and blues contrasted with the white of the building stones or of stucco. The more elaborate temples were equipped with very rich figural decoration in the form of reliefs and pedimental sculpture.
Canonical Greek temples maintained the same basic structure throughout many centuries. The Greeks used a limited number of spatial components, influencing the plan, and of architectural members, determining the elevation.
