A building, typically a Greek temple, that has a row of columns at both its front and back entrances.
From Greek 'amphi' (both) + 'pro' (before) + 'stylos' (column), describing the architectural style that emerged in ancient Greece.
Amphiprostyle temples were the ancient Greek way of saying 'we want to welcome you from every important direction'—they're symmetrical and look complete whether you approach from the front or the back.
