Although it was built in the style of ancient Greek temple, the building itself was never meant to have any religious significance. Thus, it is not a temple, it is a memorial building.
The Lincoln memorial was made after the Greek temple the Parthenon.
The Lincoln Memorial is designed in the style of a Greek Doric temple. It features 36 columns, each representing a state in the Union at the time of Abraham Lincoln's death in 1865. The structure embodies classical Greek architectural elements, symbolizing democracy and the ideals of ancient Greece, while serving as a tribute to Lincoln's legacy.
The Lincoln Memorial's design, resembling a Greek temple, symbolizes the democratic ideals of ancient Greece, emphasizing the values of democracy and freedom that Abraham Lincoln championed. Its neoclassical architecture conveys a sense of permanence and reverence, reflecting the nation's gratitude and respect for Lincoln's leadership during a tumultuous period in American history. This design choice also connects the memorial to a broader tradition of monumental architecture, enhancing its significance as a national symbol.
