Yes, the apparently upright, tapering columns on the Parthenon actually lean inwards slightly and bulge in the middle. This is to compensate for the effects of perspective, which visually distorts straight lines and accurate alignments. For the same reason, the Parthenon frieze is sculpted in deeper relief towards the top and the building's base and steps are higher in the middle than at the edges.
