Yes, and so does the rest of the world.
Ancient Greek temple and other public buildings were mainly constructed of stone by the Egyptian Stone Frame method. These replaced earlier timber structures. The stone used was mainly local marble and limestone. Houses were mainly mud brick, or timber, but fired clay bricks began to be used with a similar lime mortar to that used for the stone buildings Roofs were mainly thatch in early Ancient Greek construction, but fired clay roof tiles in both curved and flat forms were used more later in the period. Temples were built from marble and limestome.

The Roman's invented things such as the Arch, roads, cement and bridges. These are just some of the main things, but there are many more. Cement, being one of the main things they invented lead to them making many more things needing cement.
Originally done in timber, the buildings of Ancient Greece switched to stone mined in quarries and hauled/shipped to the site. The largest had stone columns made of stone 'drums' and stone crossbeams supported by columns placed close together. The buildings were adorned with carvings and statues, all painted bright reds, blues and greens. These colors have worn off, and people today imagine that they were just plain marble and stone, but the reality is that the Greeks lived in a riot of color.

Hope pueblos are buildings made of stone cemented with adobe and plastered with adobe. Today traditional homes are still made this way. Other homes are in this style but of cement stucco and others a standard American stick frame construction.

Cement and stone
They used all types of stone usually but not exclusively local to where they were building. However sometimes they moved stone over large distances just because they liked the feel of it or it looked nice. Just like today really. Did you know that alot of Roman buildings were actually made from concrete and had real stone facades. Making the buildings stronger and cheaper to erect.
Not it is not it is a cement type rock/stone that is filled in the center
•An example of this is concrete. The stone is the particulate and the cement acts as the matrix. The stone mixes with the cement and forms a composite.
