A very important site from Early Christian time is the Catacombs of San Callisto. This started as a private underground burial site for Christians, and grew into much more. There were various expansions for the Catacombs of San Callisto, adding in socializing areas and sleeping areas as well. There is much still unknown about this site.

The architecture, as well as motifs, from this this is often still seen today especially in our churches.
Early Christian Peer Reviews:
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed looking at Micah's blog. She did a good job summarizing the important facts of the Catacombs. I also liked the church she found that still displays this design style.
I watched the video Shannon posted. This video gave a lot of good information about the history of St Peters Basilica.
Byzantine Peer Reviews:
ReplyDeleteThe first person's Byzantine blog I looked at was Tara's. I really enjoyed all of the different applications she chose to show the use of this style today. I also like how this design style was brought into the fashion world as well.
I watched the youtube video Emma posted about the Byzantine Empire. It went into great detail about the process of how this Empire was built.
