Usage Note

Neoclásico describes the 18th-19th century revival of ancient Greek and Roman artistic and architectural styles. In music, it refers to early 20th-century composers like Stravinsky who returned to classical clarity. It is not a synonym for clásico — neoclásico specifically marks the revival period.

Examples

"El edificio tiene una fachada neoclásica."

Natural Translation

The building has a neoclassical facade.
