The classical Parthenon was constructed between 447-432 BCE
The temple's main function was to shelter the monumental statue of Athena that was made by Pheidias out of gold and ivory.
The Parthenon's massive foundations were made of limestone, and the columns were made of Pentelic (Mount Pentel) marble, a material that was utilized for the first time.
The Parthenon is a temple of the Doric order with eight columns at the façade, and seventeen columns at the flanks.
