A very early style of architecture, but a very beautiful style is Baroque architecture, which began in the early 17th century in Italy.
Taking the renaissance architecture and modifying it to a new theatrical, sculptural fashion, Baroque architecture became a very fanciful, extravagant style of structural design.
While the Renaissance style was designed for the well to do of society, the Baroque architecture initially played into the wealth and power of the Roman Catholic Church.
The concerns were for light, shade and color intensity and Baroque found its secular expression in grand palaces first in France, then throughout Europe.
If you were to visit France today, the Chateau de Maisons would be one of the highlights of Baroque architecture.
One of the most famous though of the Baroque architecture pieces is St. Peters Basilica in Rome. It is the most prominent building inside Vatican City. Topped with its towering dome, it is a notable feature in the Roman skyline.
Baroque structures are grand in size and ornaments. As baroque moved through Europe, it eventually took on the look of European Colonialism.
