The Athenian Treasury at Delphi also boasts a stunning example of this architectural feature dating back to 510-480 B. C.

These vantage points allow visitors to appreciate how an they are enhance the overall aesthetic appeal of a structure. Further east lies Heliopolis or Baalbek, an ancient Syrian city now located in Lebanon. Here lie the ruins of the Temple of Jupiter or Sun which once featured an impressive entablature that served as a visual representation of power and grandeur. To truly understand and appreciate classical orders such as Doric entablatures, one can turn to Charles Lawrie's engraved illustrations found within Architecture I: Orders of Architecture. These detailed depictions provide valuable insights into their design principles and historical significance.
