A Doric frieze is a decorative horizontal band found on ancient Greek and Roman buildings, specifically above the columns in the Doric style. It alternates between two main elements: plain, rectangular spaces called metopes, which are often decorated with carvings or sculptures, and vertical grooves called triglyphs. This pattern creates a balanced, rhythmic design that adds visual interest to the building. The Doric frieze is an important feature in classical architecture, often used in temples and public buildings to convey both strength and beauty in its design.
