Megaron (English spelling)
Architectural term. A rectangular residential building style consisting of a main room with a central hearth and a porch in front of it. Its origin and formation are unclear, but it has existed in Central and Eastern Europe since the Bronze Age, and its oldest example in Greece is at Dimini. In Mycenaean citadels, the megaron was the center of the king's residence. Many Greek homes were built in the megaron style, and the naos of early Greek temples was also based on this style.
