Renaissance Architecture

During the High Renaissance, architectural concepts derived from classical antiquity were developed and used with greater surety.

Renaissance architecture first developed in Florence in the 15th century and represented a conscious revival of classical styles.

Rome, the second Renaissance capital after Florence, was one of the most important architectural and cultural centers during this period.

In the Veneto, the Renaissance ushered in a new era of architecture after a Gothic phase, which drew on classical Roman and Greek motifs.
