The San Vitale in Ravenna and The Dome of the Rock in Jerusalem

The dome of the rock of Ravenna and the Saint Vital monument are very important in Byzantine and Islamic architecture. These two buildings do not completely represent the main places of worship, but the most important one is a symbol of achievement and growth in the present architectural era. Since 524, under the influence of Orthodox bishop Ecclius, the development of St. Vital represents the achievement of Justin Emperor. Julius Argentarius is a sponsor of this building, which was dedicated in 547 by Bishop Maximian.

Early prototypes of Byzantine architecture are in St. Vital in Ravenna (538-47) and St. Sergis in Constantinople (527), both domes churches are octagonal. The church is surrounded by a passage. But Justinian of Constantinople Cathedral, Hagia Sophia's Cathedral, or the Holy Wisdom's Church (532-37) shows how to place a huge dome on a square plane. The solution is to place the dome over a pendant or spherical triangle and round the circle to a square

In St. Sergius, Constantinople, Saint Vital, Ravenna, the central type of the church, the space under the dome was expanded by an invalid addition of the octagon. Finally, at Hagia Sophia (the 6th century), we made a combination. This is probably the most noteworthy plan ever. Increase the 100 foot (30 meters) square center space to 200 feet (60 meters) by adding two semicircles to the east and west; they are extruded again by three small east directions . Push both sides of the straight extension forward. This uninterrupted area is about 260 feet (80 meters) long, mostly over 100 feet wide (30 meters) wide and completely covered with a dome surface system. On top of a small conical snake there are two large half dome shaped dome covered with a semicircle, during which the huge dome above the central square is highlighted.

In the summer of 552, after ignoring sufficient financial and logistical support for the hopeless power of the summer of 552, 35 thousand troops, mostly Asians and German mercenaries, in 552 It was applied in the summer. With the best effort

There is a 16 corridor with a gallery surrounding the central octagonal dome. The plan and decoration are mainly due to St. Vital 's 6th century Lavina cathedral. In fact, Charlemagne first visited Ravenna three times in 787. In that year, he wrote to Pope Hadrian I and asked Rome and Ravenna "mosaic, marble and other materials on the floor and the wall" as his palace. Buildings including cylinders and grotesque vaulted ceilings and dome octagonal monastery dome reflect that the plan reflects the late Romanesque style or pre Romanesque style, rather than the Byzantine style adopted by Saint Vital to simplify Ravenna The complex geometry of the building. The multicolored marble finish gives a gorgeous interior. Chapel uses the newly carved material as well as the ancient sporia you can imagine from Ravenna (Einhardt claims that it came from Rome and Ravenna).
