Distyle in antis

In classical architecture, Distyle in antis or abusively simply Distyle denotes a temple with the side walls extending to the front of the porch and terminating with two antae, the pediment being supported by two pilasters or sometimes caryatids. This is the earliest type of temple structure in Greece. An example is the Siphnian Treasury in Delphi, built in the 6th century BCE, around 525 BCE.

The next evolution in temple design came with Amphiprostyle, where four columns line up on the porch in front of naos.
