Home›Religious and Sacred Buildings›GroupBrowse ByGroupBuilding group gathers buildings into broad families that serve a similar purpose, such as religious, civic or residential structures. Wikipedia notes that "historical civilizations are often identified with their surviving architectural achievements," and those achievements cluster naturally around a handful of recurring building purposes. This grouping lets a visitor compare buildings that were raised to do the same kind of job.FactsGroupSourcesComments (0)Reader Challenges (0)FactsComparisonEra of EmergenceWell-attested9000 BCE
