Byzantine Revival architecture
The
Byzantine Revival
(also referred to as
Neo-Byzantine
) was an
architectural revival
movement, most frequently seen in religious, institutional and public
buildings
. It emerged in the 1840s in
Western Europe
and peaked in the last quarter of 19th century in the
Russian Empire
; an isolated Neo-Byzantine school was active in
Yugoslavia
between
World War I
and
World War II
. Neo-Byzantine architecture incorporates elements of the
Byzantine style
associated with
Eastern
and
Orthodox Christian
architecture dating from the 5th through 11th centuries, notably that of
Constantinople
(present-day
Istanbul
) and the
Exarchate of Ravenna
.
