Most beautiful church architecture
Church architecture is refers to the buildings architecture of Christian churches. Over the two thousand years it has evolved the Christian religion, partly by imitating and partly by innovation other architectural styles as well as responding to changing practices, beliefs and local traditions. Both practical and theological influences on the architecture of church have included secular and pagan buildings and those of other faiths.
Church buildings, were at first adapted from those originally intended for other purposes but with the rise of distinctively ecclesiastical architecture, came to influence secular ones which have often imitated religious architecture. In the 20th century, the use of new materials, such as concrete, as well as simpler styles has had its effect upon the design of churches and arguably the flow of influence has been reversed.
