Neo Baroque

The Burj Khalifa tower and Dubai has taken the crown as the worlds tallest building. It  is a near perfect representation of the Neo Baroque. The tower extends over 2500 feet tall. Each level is smaller than the next to form a classic needle shaped structure. The Burj Khalifa may be the closest example to the fabled tower of Babylon



Similarly, the Church of Salta in Argentina features strange colors and embellished decorations that were common in Baroque architecture
