What is a "stylobate"?
A stylobate is the upper step or base of a temple or building that supports the columns. It is a flat surface on which the columns rest, providing stability and a level foundation for the structure. The stylobate is usually slightly raised above the ground and can often be seen in classical architecture, particularly in Greek temples. It plays a crucial role in the overall design by helping to create an impression of strength and balance, contributing to the aesthetic appeal of the building.
