Explanation:

The Doric order is the oldest of the three and its origins date back to the 7th century BC. C. Its denomination refers to the Dorian people, who were the first to incorporate this architectural style. It is characterized by its sobriety and simplicity, as well as the idea of ​​harmony.

The characteristic element of the Doric temple is the column. This is made up of three structures: a base, a shaft and a capital. In a stricter sense, the base is nonexistent, since the shaft rests directly on the last step leading to the temple precinct (this step is known by the term stylobate, which in turn supports the lower or stereobate steps).

The spine shaft is circular and has concave shaped grooves, on the other hand, its size is progressively decreasing from the bottom to the top.

The Doric capital has three parts:

1) the abacus is a rectangular shape that supports the horizontal structure of the temple,

2) below the abacus is the equine, which has a convex shape,

3) The extension of the shaft is the collar, also known as astragalus.
