Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The Doric order is distinguished by a column that stands directly on the stylobate, without a base. The columns are also thicker at the base and have a simple capital. The frieze is typically divided into triglyphs and metopes, and there is a continuous band of molding above the frieze called the cornice. The peristyle colonnade refers to a row of columns surrounding a building or courtyard, which is a feature found in many Greek architectural styles, not just the Doric order.
