Michelangelo's late Roman buildings, particularly St. Peter's Basilica, may be consideredprecursors to Baroque architecture. His pupil Giacomo della Porta continued this work inRome, particularly in the faade of the Jesuit church Il Ges, which leads directly to the mostimportant church faade of the early Baroque, Santa Susanna (1603), by Carlo Maderno[3]
Distinctive features of Baroque architecture can include:
In churches, broader naves and sometimes given oval forms Fragmentary or deliberately incomplete architectural elements dramatic use of light; either strong light-and-shade contrasts (chiaroscuro effects) as
at the church ofWeltenburg Abbey, or uniform lighting by means of several windows(e.g. church ofWeingarten Abbey)
opulent use of colour and ornaments (puttior figures made of wood (often gilded),plaster or stucco, marble or faux finishing)
large-scale ceiling frescoes an external faade often characterized by a dramatic central projection the interior is a shell for painting, sculpture and stucco (especially in the late
Baroque) illusory effects like trompe l'oeil (an art technique involving extremely realistic
imagery in order to create the optical illusion that the depicted objects appear inthree dimensions.) and the blending ofpainting and architecture

need to control trade routes, monopolies, and slavery, which lay primarily in the hands ofthe French during the 17th century, created an almost endless cycle of wars between thecolonial powers: the French religious wars, the Thirty Years' War (1618 and 1648), FrancoSpanish War (1653), the Franco-Dutch War (16721678), and so on. The initialmismanagement of colonial wealth by the Spaniards bankrupted them in the 16th century
(1557 and 1560), recovering only slowly in the following century. This explains why theBaroque style, though enthusiastically developed in Spain, was to a large extent, in Spain, anarchitecture of surfaces and faades, unlike in France and Austria where we see theconstruction of numerous huge palaces and monasteries. In contrast to Spain, the French,under Jean-Baptiste Colbert (16191683), the minister of finance, had begun to industrializetheir economy, and thus, were able to become, initially at least, the benefactors of the flowof wealth. While this was good for the building industries and the arts, the new wealthcreated an inflation, the likes of which had never been experienced before. Rome wasknown just as much for its new sumptuous churches as for its vagabonds.[5]
Italy
Main articles: Italian Baroque and Italian Baroque architecture
Rome and Southern Italy
See also: Sicilian Baroque
A number of ecclesiastical buildings of the Baroque period in Rome had plans based on theItalian paradigm of the basilica with a crossed dome and nave, but the treatment of thearchitecture was very different to what had been carried out previously. One of the firstRoman structures to break with the Mannerist conventions exemplified in the Ges, was thechurch of Santa Susanna, designed by Carlo Maderno. The dynamic rhythm of columns andpilasters, central massing, and the protrusion and condensed central decoration addcomplexity to the structure. There is an incipient playfulness with the rules of classic design,but it still maintains rigor.
The same concerns with plasticity, massing, dramatic effects and shadow and light is evidentin the architectural work of Pietro da Cortona, illustrated by his design of Santi Luca eMartina (construction began in 1635) with what was probably the first curved Baroque
church facade in Rome.[6] These concerns are even more evident in his reworking of SantaMaria della Pace (1656-8). The facade with its chiaroscuro half-domed portico and concaveside wings, closely resembles a theatrical stage set and the church facade projects forwardso that it substantially fills the tiny trapezoidal piazza. Other Roman ensembles of theBaroque and Late Baroque period are likewise suffused with theatricality and, as urbantheatres, provide points of focus within their locality in the surrounding cityscape.
Probably the most well known example of such an approach is Saint Peter's Square, whichhas been praised as a masterstroke of Baroque theatre. The piazza, designed by GianLorenzo Bernini, is formed principally by two colonnades of free standing columns centred
on an Egyptian obelisk. Bernini's own favourite design was his oval church of Sant'Andrea alQuirinale decorated with polychome marbles and an ornate gold dome. His secular

Style. As Turkish architecture[disambiguation needed] (which is also a combination of Islamic andByzantine architecture) combined with Baroque, a new style called Ottoman Baroqueappeared. Baroque architecture is mostly seen in mosques and palaces built in thiscenturies. The Ortaky Mosque, is one of the best examples of Ottoman BaroqueArchitecture. The Tanzimat Era caused more architectural development. The architectural
change continued with Sultan Mahmud II, one of the most reformist sultans in TurkishHistory. One of his sons, Sultan Abdlmecid and his family left the Topkap Palace andmoved to the Dolmabahe Palace which is the first European-style palace in the country.
Baroque architecture in Istanbul was mostly used in palaces near the Bosphorus and GoldenHorn. Beyolu was one of the places that Baroque and other European style architecturebuildings were largely used. The famous streets called Istiklal Avenue, Nianta, BankalarCaddesi consist of these architecture style apartments. The Ottoman flavour gives it itsunique atmosphere, which also distinguishes it from the later "colonial" Baroque styles,largely used in the Middle East, especially Lebanon. Later and more mature Baroque forms
in Istanbul can be found in the gates of the Dolmabahe Palace which also has a very"eastern" flavour, combining Baroque, Romantic, and Oriental architecture.
