Byzantine architecture emerged in 500 AD after the fall of the Western Roman Empire. It featured central plans with circular domes over square foundations, and used pendentive domes with triangular sections to support spherical dome structures. Two iconic examples from this period are the Hagia Sophia built in 530 AD under Emperor Justinian, who sought to restore the Roman Empire, and the 6th century San Vitale church in Ravenna, Italy.
