Neoclassical architecture as Palladian architecture has its origins in Classical and Hellenistic architecture so its clearly of Greek origin. It’s Turkey that promotes towns with Greek architecture like Alatsata that is called today Alacati as Turkish… but the truth is fhat until 1922 was a town with 100% Greek population as the whole Aegean coast of what is today called Turkey and historically Asia Minor was inhabited in prevalence by Greek population or populations of Thracian and Pelasgian origin like the Lydians, Phrygians,Carians, Lycians etc
@@theperiegete Athens was a village before 1832, check the paintings about it. Building things to copy Western Europe doesnt make you the owner of the town.
@@kuvikinaIf Athens lost its importance during middle ages and Ottoman occupation was primarily thanks to Christianity which fought against Hellenism and considered even the name Hellene as synonymous to pagan so the Christian Roman Empire of Constantinople persecuted the Gentile Greeks and forced the population with various laws and persecutions to convert to Christianity. Athens as a symbol of Democracy and Philosophy and home of the Platonic Academy and Eleusinian Mysteries was a primary target of the Clergy and fanatic monks. Every single byzantine church in Athens is built over ancient sanctuaries using spoils of the ancient temples as building material to desecrate them. As for the so called european architecture has its origins to the followers of Pletho the most famous neoplatonic philosopher of the 14th and 15th century and another series of Greek scholars that after the fall of Constantinople migrated in Italy and were the spark of renaissance, to make an example Marsilio Ficino which founded the NeoPlatonic Academy in Florence as Cosimo de Medici which funded the school were scholars of Pletho as they met during the council of Florence. During that age and studying the ruins of ancient Greek and Roman temples started those architectural styles inspired by Greek-Roman world as Palladian and later neoclassical architecture.
