Renaissance architecture is the architecture of the period between the early 15th and early 17th centuries in different regions of Europe, in which there was a conscious revival and development of certain elements of Ancient_Greeceand Ancient_Romethought and material culture. Stylistically, Renaissance architecture followed Gothic_architectureand was succeeded by Baroque_architecture.

The Renaissance style places emphasis on Symmetry, Proportion, geometry and the regularity of parts as they are demonstrated in the architecture of Classical_antiquityand in particular Roman_architecture, of which many examples remained. Orderly arrangements of Column, Pilasterand Lintel_(architecture), as well as the use of semicircular arches, hemispherical Dome, Niche_(architecture) and Aediculereplaced the more complex proportional systems and irregular profiles of Gothic_architecturebuildings.

Developed first in Florence, with Filippo_Brunelleschias one of its innovators, the Renaissance style quickly spread to other Italian cities and then to France, Germany, England, Russia and elsewhere.
