Neo-baroque is an architectural style that emerged in the late 19th and early 20th century, characterized by a revival of the baroque style, an ornate and highly decorative style of architecture that flourished in Europe from the late 16th to the mid-18th century. Neo-baroque architecture is characterized by its grandeur, opulence, and theatricality, and typically features elaborate facades, decorative motifs, and sculptural elements. It is often associated with the art nouveau and art deco styles, which were also popular during the same period. Notable examples of neo-baroque architecture include the Palace of Versailles in France, the State Historical Museum in Moscow, and the Budapest Parliament building in Hungary.
