Overview

Neoclassical architecture, also known as Classical Revival architecture, emerged in the mid-18th century across Italy, France, and Germany. This movement sought to move away from the ornate excesses of Baroque and Renaissance architecture, aiming instead for a return to the purer, more authentic principles of ancient Greek and Roman design.

By adapting these ancient forms to modern requirements, the movement became one of the most influential architectural styles in the Western world. It emphasized symmetry, simplicity, and structural integrity, defining the aesthetic landscape of the 18th and 19th centuries.
