What is "Byzantine architecture"?
Byzantine architecture is a style that developed in the Eastern Roman Empire, particularly from the 4th to the 15th centuries. This style is known for its grand and complex designs, featuring large domes, intricate mosaics, and a rich use of color. Key characteristics include the use of rounded arches, thick walls, and extensive decoration, often with religious themes. Byzantine buildings, such as churches and monasteries, are designed to create a sense of awe and spirituality. The style emphasizes verticality and light, with windows allowing for bright interiors that enhance the beauty of the decorative elements.
