==== Romanesque-Italianate ==== The Italianate architectural style was popularised in early Victorian Britain and subsequently became an attractive form [[:Category:Italianate architecture in India|adopted in India]] in the later parts of the 19th century. The main characteristics of this style include imposing cornice structures, prominent cornice and corbels, Roman arches, arch headed or pedimented windows, flat or βhipβ roof, and windows with distinctive moulded caps.
