In the 19th century building, Iliou Melathron, the use of ion columns is very prominent. In three common styles, ion columns are chronologically placed in the middle of the pattern and are most easily determined by the swirl of the column's capital. Iliou Melathron combines two styles. That is the revival of the Renaissance and neoclassicalism. When building this building people did not know that most of the ancient buildings were painted, that is why these buildings are usually white.

Columns designed with ion style are usually defined by reels designed in the capital (top). Compared to Doric, the ion column is very thin and its height is 8 to 9 times the diameter of the shaft. There is three piece molding on the base, and the sculpture is not deepest unless it is at the top of the shaft. It is very similar to other columns, but the ion is considered an elegant and feminine structure. Corinthians are often considered twins that leave the environment of conflict. Those axes and bottoms remain the same, but there are differences in capital letters. In the order of Corinth, the capital usually includes sculptures in leaf and flower design, and the shape of the entire capital becomes an inverted bell.

Ancient Greek architects usually mentioned three orders: Dorian, Ion, and Collins. The difference is primarily in the shape of the pillars and the decoration of the dragonfly. The Doric Order features a pedestal and a simple capital, and alternating triangles and wall openings. The sequence of ions includes columns with bases, capital letters scrolls, and stereotaxic sculptures (sculptures or left side faces). Collins's order features narrow pillars on delicate capital letters shaped like antique blades.
