Neo-Roman

Neo-Roman style is an architectural trend that revisits the forms and motifs of ancient Roman architecture, predominantly popular in the 19th century in Europe.

The Neo-Roman style is part of the architectural revival movements that emerged in the 19th century, a time when Europe was looking to invigorate and celebrate its classical past. Characterized by the use of large arches, sturdy vaults, and massive colonnades, this style directly draws inspiration from the architecture of the Roman Empire. Neo-Roman can be seen as a response to the strictures of classicism and a precursor to romantic eclecticism in architecture. Buildings of this style often combine structural grandeur with decorative details inspired by Roman art and architecture, commonly used in public buildings, train stations, courthouses, and churches.
