Early Chritinality architectural

Early Christian architectural were faced with problem of finding an architecture appropriate for the religion, that has not existed before. The earliest meeting places were the catacombs, underground burial galleries beneath the streets and buildings of Rome. Later period, when Constantine authorized the building of a large church in Rome that would house the shrine of St. Peter. The Old St. Peter in Rome were not highly exterior decoratedl however the interior were overlaid with lavish application of precious materials. The evolution takes a long period until churches were known as those gothic cathedral as we known today. The architectural design were also different in regions and culture of the local. The Early Christian and Byzantine styles-along with the Romaniesque, Gothic, and Islamic styles-surfaced between the classical world and Renaissance. Both of those eras are distinguished by beauty achieved through the exercise of logic and the exalting of human accomplishment
