In ancient Greece the temple was the place where the god or the goddess, were living, their home. The temple was the building where the statue of the god was placed to be worshiped.

The statue of the god was deep inside the temple. People that wanted to offer a sacrifice to the god were gathering outside the main building of the temple, in a place made especially for that purpose. 

According to these functions, temples were designed and built. Also, the primary and basic design of one temple was created around the statue that they were going to host.
