Neo-Gothic Architecture, also known as Gothic Revival, emerged in the late 18th century and continued into the 19th century. It sought to revive the styles and elements of the original Gothic architecture, which flourished in Europe from the 12th to the 16th centuries. Characterized by pointed arches, ribbed vaults, and flying buttresses, Neo-Gothic buildings often feature intricate detailing and a sense of verticality. This architectural style was popularized in various structures, including churches, universities, and government buildings. Notable examples include the Palace of Westminster in London and St. Patrick's Cathedral in New York City. Neo-Gothic architecture reflects a romanticized view of the past, emphasizing craftsmanship and ornate design.
