Neo-Byzantine style

Neo-Byzantine style is an architectural and artistic movement that emerged in the late 19th century, drawing inspiration from the original Byzantine art and architecture of the Eastern Roman Empire. Characterized by features like large domes, intricate mosaics, and lavish ornamentation, this style often emphasized spirituality and grandeur. Commonly found in churches and public buildings, Neo-Byzantine architecture incorporates colorful patterns, rounded arches, and a rich use of materials, aiming to evoke the aesthetic and religious significance of the historic Byzantine period, while reflecting contemporary tastes and technologies of its time.
