The classical Greek architecture is well-known for its temples, whose structure and decoration are highly formalized. Many of them are found in the area as complete ruins. Each classical Greek temple seems to be thought to be a sculptural presence in the landscape and its height and its influence on the surface can be observed from multiple angles usually It is higher. The open-air theater is also an important building in various parts of the world of Greece, the early history dates back to 525 - 480 BC.

Ancient Roman architecture used an external language of ancient Greek architecture for the purpose of ancient Romans, but unlike Greek architecture it became a new architectural style. These two styles are often considered part of classical architecture. Roman architecture thrived in the Roman Empire, especially under the rule of the Empire. It uses new materials, especially concrete, and new technologies like arch and dome, and generally designs the buildings strongly and well. There are still a lot of numbers still in some form in the empire, sometimes complete and still in use.

Romans used the classical Greek architecture for their own purposes, but they modified it according to their own needs and created a new architectural style. Therefore, Greek and Roman architectural styles are considered part of classical architecture. "Roman architecture represents the fusion of traditional Greek and Etruscan elements, especially traditional order" (early Christian architecture, nd). Its structural principle is based on arch design and use of concrete. The Romans produced originality in the latter part of their existence; they were almost copies of the initial Greek structure. Until then, the Etruscans began to form under the influence of the three dimensional appearance of the arch and dome.

The Romans are known for their architecture combining the Greek tradition with "classical architecture". There are many differences in Greek architecture, but Rome relies heavily on formulation of architectural design and borrowing from Greece. In addition to the two new columns, the composite and the Tuscan, and the dome of the Etruscan arch, the Rome made relatively little construction innovation by the end of the Republic. In the 1st century BC the Romans started using concrete widely. Concrete was invented in the second half of the third century BC. It is a strong cement from volcanic ash which soon replaces marble as the main Roman building material, and allowed many bold architectural forms. Also in the 1st century BC Vitruvius wrote De architectura. This is probably the complete article on the first architecture in history. In the latter half of the first century BC, Roman began using glass blowing soon after being invented in Syria around 50 BC.
