This is a directory of links to the pages where Baroque buildings are shown. The list is split in three sections in line with
Rudolf Wittkower's Art and Architecture in Italy 1600-1750. You can see a similar directory covering Baroque Sculpture.
Period of transition and first baroque churches and palaces (approximately from 1600 to 1625)
Baroque Age (approximately from 1625 to 1675)
Late Baroque and Rococo (approximately from 1675 to 1775)
This page in general follows Paolo Portoghesi's index of the architects in Roma Barocca. Often more than one architect worked on a building, so the reference to an architect as author of a building is not always exclusive. The first column shows the name of the architect and his dates of birth and death. The second column has the link to the page where the monument is shown. Architects are sorted by year of birth.
The most important popes in this period were Gregory XIII (1572-1585), Sixtus V (1585-1590), Clement VIII (1592-1605) and Paul V (1605-1621).
Baroque Age (approximately from 1625 to 1675)
The most important popes in this period were Urban VIII (1623-1644), Innocent X (1644-1655) and Alexander VII (1665-1667). The works by Gian Lorenzo Bernini and Francesco Borromini are listed in separate pages.
Late Baroque and Rococo (approximately from 1675 to 1775)
The most important popes in this period were Clement XI (1700-1721), Clement XII (1730-1740) and Benedict XIV (1740-1758).
