The temple was built from Mount Pentelicus marble, which is rich in iron. The length of the Parthenon reached 228 feet, its width is 101 feet, and its height is 65 meters. Its base dimensions are 69.5 x 30.9 meters, and the diameter of its periodic columns is 1.9 meters, and its length is 10.4 meters. There are eight columns on the facade of the building, and eight at its back and on. Each side had 17 columns.

Several architectural innovations new to Greek architecture appeared in this temple, including:

The upper diameter of the column reaches ¾ of its diameter at the bottom of the body to avoid the column appearing thin.
The corner columns were thicker than the rest of the columns to avoid deceiving the eye.
The distance between the corner column and the next column on each side is approximately 24 inches less than other distances in order to create proportionality between the corner columns and the rest of the columns.

• Take into account that the columns tilt inward slightly more than they should be vertical, to create a kind of balance with the slope of the vertical lines.
  The area of ​​the middle metope slab in the frieze is larger than the others to avoid deceiving the eye.
  The truss tilts inward at about 13.5 degrees, which is a degree of inclination that does not allow the cornices to cast their shadow on the sculptures inside the truss.[8]
  The Parthenon was built entirely of Pentelic marble, a white marble sourced from the Pentelix plateau, 18 km from Athens. The shape of the temple is rectangular, and its length is 72 m, its width is 34 m, and its height is 18 m. The Parthenon includes a central enclosed space called the Sala, meaning the Holy, which was divided into two rooms, one of which once housed a huge statue of Athena made of gold and ivory, while the other was used as a storage warehouse. The Sala is surrounded by forty-six Doric-style columns on all four sides. The Parthenon was decorated with brilliant sculptures that filled the two porticoes (the two triangular ends of the roof). The eastern portico was decorated with scenes showing the birth of Athena, while the western portico displayed scenes of the legendary war between Athena and the sea god Poseidon. In order to control Athens. Lined around the top of the outer wall, above the columns, were a series of carved banners called metopes, on which were painted scenes of the famous legendary battles between the Lapathians and the centaurs, between the gods and a race of giants, and between the Greeks and the Amazons. These banners also depicted scenes from the Trojan War. Along the outer wall of the Sala was placed a horizontal frieze, which included scenes of the inhabitants of Athens, including officials, priests, maids of honor, and knights on horseback, in the annual procession celebrating the birth of the goddess Athena.
