Temples
The Etruscans incorporated Greek deities and heroes into their pantheon and used divination to predict future events.
Etruscans built their temples with mud-brick walls; columns and entablatures were made of wood or a quarried volcanic rock.

They also used the post-and-lintel structure and gable roofs, with bases, column shafts, and capitals recalling the Doric or Ionic order, and entablatures resembling a Doric frieze.
