The correct answer is True

The Parthenon, arguably the most iconic of the ancient Doric temples of the Greeks, was built between 447 and 432 BC. Located on the Acropolis of Athens, for many architects it is one of the first buildings we analyzed when starting our studies. Designed by Ictino and Calícrates, it displays a unique repertoire of architectural elements that can be fully appreciated individually or by the role they play in the formation of a complete and magnificent whole.

Simply described, the 69.5 x 30.9 meter building is erected in a three-step stylobat, with a gable roof raised over a pillar and lintel structure formed by Doric columns - 17 on its sides and 8 on each end - which support an entablature composed of an architrave, a frieze and a cornice. On each porch, triangular pediments with sculptures represent the "Birth of Athena" in the east and the "Contest between Athena and Poseidon" in the west.
