Doric columns were typically made from stone, often limestone or marble, and were constructed through a process that involved quarrying large blocks of stone. The stone was then shaped using chisels and other tools to achieve the characteristic fluted design and the simple, sturdy proportions of the Doric style. The columns were usually assembled in sections, with a smooth shaft, a distinct capital, and a square base. The entire process required skilled craftsmanship to ensure structural integrity and aesthetic appeal.

What types of columns were used to build the Parthenon?
Currently doing Classical Civilisation GCSE, not only did they have Doric style columns (characterised by their rather plain capital (that little ring thing at the top of the column) and lack of entasis/base) but they also housed Double Doric columns in the naos with it's cult statue. I don't why but I find that so cute, they're like mini-versions of the regular Doric Columns. You should check out the Assasin's creed Parthenon and look at their columns, or some artist reconstructions as I can't really put these into words that well. Plus, I'm only at GCSE, this might not be the most informed explanation of their columns. Feel free to correct me if need be
