A Doric column is one of the simplest and most sturdy styles of columns used in ancient Greek architecture. It is characterized by a plain, unadorned shaft that has vertical grooves. The top of the Doric column features a flat capital, which is not decorated with elaborate details. Doric columns are typically shorter and have a broader base compared to other styles, giving them a strong and solid appearance. They are often associated with temples and public buildings, representing strength and simplicity in architectural design.
