Pseudodipteral or Pseudodipteros (Greek: ψευδοδίπτερος, meaning “falsely dipteral”)[1][2] describes an ancient Greek temple with a single peristyle surrounding the cella at the distance of two intercolumns and one column.[3] Unlike peripteral temples, there is a greater space between the columns of the peristyle and the cella; dipteral temples have two peristyles.
