Byzantine architecture

Hagia Sophia Church, Sofia, Bulgaria; an example of Byzantine architecture

Byzantine architecture is the architectural style of the Byzantine Empire. This is a term used by modern historians to mean the Eastern Roman Empire based in Constantinople. The empire lasted for more than a millennium. It left a lasting influence on Medieval architecture in Europe and the Near East. It also influenced the later Renaissance architecture and Ottoman architecture.

As a distinctive style

A Dome on a pendentive

Early Byzantine architecture evolved from Early Christian architecture.[1] The early Christian style typically was a basilica with three or five isles.[1] Usually they had wooden roofs. Vaults and domes were rarely used. Byzantine architecture rarely used three isle or five isle basilicas.[1] In this style domes were frequently used.[1] The Semi-dome was also used, especially over an apse.[2] It reached its highest form with the use of the pendentive. These are usually used to support a dome. The Byzantine pendentive is a geometric form using four triangular legs sitting on a square base.[3] It developed during the 6th century reign of the Byzantine Emperor Justinian I.[4] This is when Byzantine architecture became a distinctive style. Windowed domes were also a distinctive feature of this style.[5] The intent was to make the dome look like a crown with jewels of light.

Legacy

In the West, Byzantine architecture was replaced by Romanesque and Gothic architecture. In Asia it had an influence on early Islamic architecture. Later Ottoman architecture was also influenced by the Byzantine style.
