Neo-Romanesque Architecture

Neo-Romanesque architecture, also known as Romanesque Revival, emerged in the early 19th century as part of a broader historicist movement that looked to medieval architectural styles for inspiration. Drawing from the Romanesque architecture of the 11th and 12th centuries, the style is characterized by its use of rounded arches, thick masonry walls, small paired windows, and robust, fortress-like forms. Often employed in churches, institutional buildings, and occasionally civic structures, Neo-Romanesque conveyed a sense of solidity and tradition.
