Renaissance architecture developed in Europe between the 14th and 17th centuries, emphasizing symmetry, proportion and geometry rather than the complex forms of Gothic architecture. A centrally planned church has a central altar surrounded by an ambulatory, with examples including Santa Costanza and St. Peter's Basilica in Rome. St. Peter's Basilica, designed by Bramante, Michelangelo, Maderno and Bernini, is one of the largest churches in the world with a massive central dome dominating its interior and exterior.

RENAISSANCE ARCHITECTURE • Renaissance architecture is the architecture of the period between the early 14th and early 17th centuries in different regions of Europe • Renaissance architecture followed Gothic architecture and was succeeded by Baroque architecture • Renaissance style quickly spread to other Italian cities. • The style was carried to France, Germany, England, Russia and other parts of Europe at different dates and with varying degrees of impact.
FEATURES OF RENAISSANCE ARCHITECTURE • Renaissance style places emphasis on symmetry, proportion, geometry and the regularity of parts • Orderly arrangements of columns, pilasters and lintels • Use of semicircular arches • Hemispherical domes, niches and aedicules replaced the more complex proportional systems and irregular profiles of medieval buildings
CENTRALLY PLANNED CHURCH • A centrally planned church is a church with the altar at the center • Was often used for baptisteries or tombs. • The Church of Santa Costanza is an example of a centrally planned church, featuring a central altar surrounded by an ambulatory.The ambulatory is made up of paired Corinthian columns. NOTE : An altar is any structure upon which offerings such as sacrifices are made for religious purposes
CENTRALLY PLANNED CHURCH • Builders of the 15th century churches in Italy gradually turned away from the traditional latin cross plan crossing of the long nave, trancepts, and choir. • Instead they advocate centrally planned churches and these churches have always been regarded as the climax of Renaissance Architecture
