2. Byzantine architecture

Byzantine architecture is characterized by a small difference between the horizontal and vertical lengths of the cross, and a large dome at the intersection. The dome is on a square plane. It is a great contribution to the development of European architecture to build a covered dome and put the weight on four independent pillars.

3. Baroque architecture

There are many types of buildings in ancient Rome, including Pantheon, Venus and Roman temples, as well as religious buildings such as the Sun Temple in Baalbek (in modern Lebanon), as well as public buildings such as palaces, theaters, arenas, baths, squares and cathedrals (rectangular halls). Residential buildings include inner-chamber houses, houses combining inner-chamber houses with column houses, and apartments with four or five floors.

Second, different origins.

1, Gothic architecture

Gothic architecture has developed all over France. 12-15th century, urban handicrafts and commercial guilds were quite developed, and the city practiced a certain degree of democracy. Citizens built churches with great enthusiasm and showed their cities by fighting for victory.

2. Byzantine architecture

Historically, the Eastern Roman Empire was called the Byzantine Empire, and its rule lasted until15th century, when it was destroyed by the Turks in 1453. The territory of the Eastern Roman Empire is centered on the Balkans, including Asia Minor, the eastern Mediterranean and North Africa, Syria, Palestine and the two river basins, with Constantinople as its capital.

3. Baroque architecture

Baroque art came into being in the second half of16th century and reached its peak in17th century. Except for northern and central Europe, it gradually declined. Baroque art originated in Italy, which is undoubtedly related to the anti-religious reform. Rome was the center of church power at that time, so it was not surprising that it rose in Rome.

It can be said that Baroque art was not invented by religion, but served the church and was used by religion, and the church was its most powerful pillar.

3. Baroque architecture

Baroque architectural style is also very popular in some countries in Central Europe, especially Germany and Austria. /kloc-in the second half of the 0/7th century, many German architects combined Italian Baroque architectural style with German national architectural style after returning from studying in Italy. By the first half of18th century, German Baroque architecture had become a wonderful work in the history of European architecture.

4. Romanesque architecture

During the Roman Empire (30 BC-476 AD), in 30 BC, Roman Consul General Augustus proclaimed himself emperor.
