Neoclassical architecture

Neoclassical architecture, instead of being elaborately decorated like the designs of Baroque and Rococo architecture, takes inspiration from Greek and Roman style of architecture, influenced by the resurfacing of the Classical style, which gained interest with the excavation of ancient ruins. Neoclassical buildings sport traits such as the aforementioned Greek, Roman, or a mix of their designs. Neoclassicism flourished in Western Europe and, to a lesser extent, Eastern Europe. It had also spread to the United States, and while it was most prevalent during the 18th and 19th century, Neoclassicism can still be seen in the present days.
