Question

Compare details of Italian architecture of this period with Islamic architecture

Answer 1

There are the some similarities between both of these architectures.

Comparison between Italian and Islamic architecture:

• Both architectures had massive structures with significant embellishments.

• The ruins of the former Roman metropolis served as the foundation for Italian architecture. While mining the old Roman structures, architecture produced a new imperial Roman style or 'classical' style.

• The underlying design of Islamic architecture was the same all throughout the world, from Spain to Central Asia. Domes, arches, open courtyards to express the practical and spiritual demands of Muslims, minarets, and other features were studied in this architecture.

• Religious structures were cited as the best architectural examples in both cases. Huge cathidrals were created in Italian style, and shrines, tombs, and magnificent mosques were built in Islamic architecture.
