    We talked about how big the base had to be to create this structure. - Sean

    The Parthenon in Rome, also known as the Temple of Portunus or Temple of Fortuna Virilis, is a remarkable ancient structure that stands as a testament to Roman architectural prowess. Located in the vibrant neighborhood of the Forum Boarium, this well-preserved temple dates back to the 1st century BCE. Its distinctive Corinthian columns and elegant proportions showcase the classical design principles of the time. The temple was dedicated to the Roman god Portunus, who protected the city's warehouses and harbors. As you approach the Parthenon, you are greeted by its majestic façade, adorned with intricate details and sculptures that tell stories of Roman mythology and historical events. The interior features a small cella, or inner chamber, that once housed a statue of the deity.

    It is now a church.    Leer más
