What are some architectural structures of Greece?

Originally done in timber, the buildings of Ancient Greece switched to stone mined in quarries and hauled/shipped to the site.

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.
