Neoclassical Architecture remains one of the major architectural movements in world history. Born after the irrational exuberance of the Late Baroque and Rococo Ages, Neoclassical Architecture was a return to the more practical and timeless designs of the ancient Greeks and Romans. Neoclassicism became a global style by the 19th century, and many cities such as Washington D.C., London, and St. Petersburg all contain great numbers of Neoclassical buildings. Today there is still a strong association between Neoclassical Architecture and modern Democracy, and some of the world’s most well-known buildings were constructed during the Neoclassical Age.
