Doric order
The Doric order was one of the three orders or organizational systems of Ancient Greek or classical architecture; the other two canonical orders were the Ionic and the Corinthian. In their original Greek version, Doric columns stood directly on the flat pavement (the stylobate) of a temple without a base; their vertical shafts were fluted with 20 parallel concave  grooves; and they were topped by a smooth capital that flared from the column to meet a square abacus at the intersection with the horizontal beam (“entablature”) that they carried.
