===In the West===
Ultimately, Byzantine architecture in the West gave way to [[Carolingian architecture|Carolingian]], [[Romanesque architecture|Romanesque]], and [[Gothic architecture]]. But a great part of current Italy used to belong to the Byzantine Empire before that. Great examples of Byzantine architecture are still visible in Ravenna (for example Basilica di [[Basilica of San Vitale|San Vitale]] which architecture influenced the [[Palatine Chapel, Aachen|Palatine Chapel]] of Charlemagne).

===In the East===

As for the East, Byzantine architectural tradition exerted a profound influence on early [[Islamic architecture]], particularly [[Umayyad architecture]]. During the [[Umayyad Caliphate]] era (661-750), as far as the Byzantine impact on early Islamic architecture is concerned, the Byzantine arts formed a fundamental source to the new Muslim artistic heritage, especially in Syria. There are considerable Byzantine influences which can be detected in the distinctive early Islamic monuments in Syria (709–715). While these give clear reference in plan - and somewhat in decoration - to Byzantine art, the plan of the Umayyad Mosque has also a remarkable similarity with 6th- and 7th-century Christian basilicas, but it has been modified and expanded on the transversal axis and not on the normal longitudinal axis as in the Christian basilicas. The tile work, geometric patterns, multiple arches, domes, and polychrome brick and stone work that characterize Muslim and [[Moorish architecture]] were influenced heavily by Byzantine architecture.

===Post-Byzantine architecture in Eastern Orthodox countries===

In [[Bulgaria]], [[North Macedonia]], [[Serbia]], [[Romania]], [[Belarus]], [[Georgia (country)|Georgia]], [[Armenia]], [[Ukraine]], [[Russia]] and other Orthodox countries the Byzantine architecture persisted even longer, from the 16th up to the 18th centuries, giving birth to local post-Byzantine schools of architecture.

===Neo-Byzantine architecture===
{{Main|Neo-Byzantine architecture}}
[[Neo-Byzantine architecture]] was followed in the wake of the 19th-century [[Gothic revival]], resulting in such jewels as [[Westminster Cathedral]] in [[London]], and in [[Bristol]] from about 1850 to 1880 a related style known as [[Bristol Byzantine]] was popular for industrial buildings which combined elements of the Byzantine style with Moorish architecture. It was developed on a wide-scale basis in [[Russia]] during the reign of [[Alexander II of Russia|Alexander&nbsp;II]] by [[Grigory Gagarin]] and his followers who designed [[St Volodymyr's Cathedral]] in Kyiv, [[:Image:Kronstadt Naval Cathedral 1.jpg|St Nicholas Naval Cathedral]] in [[Kronstadt]], [[Alexander Nevsky Cathedral in Sofia]], [[St. Mark's Church, Belgrade|Saint Mark's church]] in [[Belgrade]] and the [[New Athos Monastery]] in [[New Athos]] near [[Sukhumi]]. The largest Neo-Byzantine project of the 20th century was the [[Church of Saint Sava]] in [[Belgrade]].
