I’m reading Russka by Edward Ruthefurd and he references this architecture often, thus I came to discover this little jewel of a video. Thanks so much for a beautiful explanation.

Wonderful explanation. Thank you!

Beautiful narration....very informative video....thankyou 🤗

Thanks for this great video. Could you give the name of the song played at the very beginning of the video? Thanks again.

Thank you for this beautiful and very informative video! Can anyone identify the church that appears at 1:00 and again at 5:58? Is it at Mystras?

Constantinople was the capital of Eastern Rome.. Thus it is considered as Byzantine Architecture although some architectural features were same.

Tbh as bull shit of a term byzantine is, the sheer difference between medieval roman architecture and classical graeco roman architecture makes this one of the only usages of the word byzantine referring to the roman empire that I kinda agree with.

​@@hexapodc.1973 It's just that from an (Orthodox)Christian perspective the Christian Roman Empire is the real Roman Empire. What you call Rome should just be called "Pagan era Roman Empire"

Yes, but it's okay to differentiate between classical and later periods.

Yes, this is the architecture of the Eastern Roman Empire, or rather Orthodox church architecture, both the exterior of the temples and the interior. The interiors are mostly frescoes or mosaics. Which is a rarity in Catholicism in the West. It appeared only later when, under the leadership of the Vatican, there was a crusade and the occupation of Byzantium, and the theft of ideas and individual frescoes and mosaics from Byzantium, when they were transferred to the west. .That can best be seen today in Italy. This architecture is originally autochthonous in the Eastern Roman Empire (Byzantium). And it has nothing to do with the Western Roman Empire or Rome, which is clearly visible in the very buildings in the west, under the auspices of the Vatican, what those churches and temples and monasteries look like... They have nothing to do architecturally with the temples in Byzantium. Only after the Crusades and the occupation of the Eastern Roman Empire led to the theft by Westerners of some, solutions from the Eastern Roman tradition, and the theft of many historical and artistic treasures, even parts of some Orthodox temples, and their transfer to the West... Where unfortunately they are still today. Until its downfall, the Western Roman Empire was always architecturally and spiritually lagging behind Eastern Orthodox Byzantium. There is Romanesque architecture, it is actually the real Western Roman architecture.
