Revivalist or Historicist architecture

Revivalism, also known as Historicism, is the main architectural style of the 19th century. It was characterized by the "revival" of all previous architectural styles, and also by a creative combination of them which led to eclecticism. Although being heavily despised by Modernist architects, I believe that we owe this style some of the most famous and also some of the most beautiful buildings in the world.
