ARCHITECTURE STYLE
NEO CLASSICAL
From the 18th century onwards, Neoclassical architecture sought to revive
Classical Greek and Roman buildings. Its expression is strongly related to its
social and economic context, the Industrial Revolution in Europe, and a period in
which upper-middle-class students began the Grand Tour tradition -- traveling
around the world and coming into contact with ancient works. The revival of
European cultural production brought an architecture oriented toward rational
symmetry as a response to Baroque architecture. This movement continued until
the 19th century and was manifested in various countries. The more columns is
better for this style.
