In Europe you will always feel overdosed with art and architecture. Every country can be defined and set apart from its buildings and use of materials. A few months of stay and you will be able to guess any street of a city as to which country it belongs. Today, I shall briefly share information on the architectural styles of the oldest and most popular European countries.
Germany - If you want to get the essence of German architecture, you must come to Bavaria. The Rathaus in most cities is ancient and significant to understand the German style of building. Usually, the old ones do not have an attached balcony or fence for windows, no grill work, the use of materials is highly practical. Tiled roof, typical of a house sketch with large windows. If you carefully observe, you will also see that most windows have large square panes.
Austria And Switzerland - The most common way to guess an Austrian or a Swiss house is through flowers. Yes, the window fences also hold flower pots with colourful Geraniums hanging making the exterior very colourful. Wood is extensively used in the house and the Italian door windows are also seen in most.
Spain - Apart from ceramic chip art and Gaudi's masterpieces, you can also view the colour architecture concept in Barcelona. Most buildings in the city are in the shades of Brown. Specially the Gothic quarters where the chain of buildings continue for several kilometres all looking like replicas of the other. It gives a feeling like as if you are been taken to the same street again and again.
Italy - No Italian architecture is complete without a piece of Marble and window doors. Pillars and porticos are commonly seen in most of the old buildings. Paintings are given the highest priority be it any size. The mosaic art of colourful marble for flooring is also unique and can be seen only here.
France - Staining glass is a popular French art. The windows are circular (Rose Windows) and intricate. Even the Chateau architecture is popular all over the globe. Wide Boulevards are also the typical of French design.

European architecture is the best. But if there's one European city I would like to settle down, it's definitely France. When my husband and I went there for a visit, we made friends with a realtor and he showed us a few properties for sale that were so beautiful and awesome. That made me fell in love with the city more.
ReplyDeleteI always wanted to take a tour around Europe, especially in London, heard there's a lot of to-go-tos spots in there. Also I want to see how their house and furniture inside looks like, you know, I've been hearing a lot about the structural design of the homes there.
ReplyDeleteI'm yet to discover London and make a mention of its architecture. Please do share the special elements of their homes.
ReplyDeleteWell hello there Europe. I will finally have my much needed vacation. As a reward for all my hard work, my boss gave me a one week vacation (plus some) and my wife and I decided to spend it in Europe.
ReplyDeleteWho doesn't want to travel to Europe? It has the most famous and amazing tourist spots in the world. If only it's as easy as jumping into a caravan and drive for hours until you get there.
