The architectures of Renaissance (15th and 16th centuries) and of Neoclassicism (18 to 20th centuries) were based on Roman models. So was the Palladian style which was very popular in Britain and other English-speaking countries and parts of continental Europe until the early 20th century. This style was initiated by Andrea Palladio, an Italian Renaissance architect who based his work on the textbook on Roman architecture by ancient Roman architect Vitruvius. Vitruvius' work was very influential in Europe.
