Faith-based styles" were given such designation, obviously: because they include faith-based details*.

In Lisbon - one of the more classicist buildings, which apparently is the Municipal Chamber of the town – it has several faith-based ornaments.

In this case we are referring now to small parts of the gate registered in the photo.

There, in the basis of the fanlight (or fan-shaped window), it is possible to recognize the same circles intertwined, which guided us towards the «starting point» of Gothic Architecture**.

Such motive, blended with many other shapes (which act in a similar mode), all those details are able to transmit to the edifice - in a very subliminal manner - a certain feeling of the civic character that was conferred then, commonly, to public buildings.        

 

*The expression is used by Robert Adam in his book entitled: The Globalisation of Modern Architecture, Cambridge Scholars Publishing, First published in 2012, ISBN 9781443839051; see: http://www.adamarchitecture.com/images/PDFs/RA-Globalisation_Contents_Preface.pdf; and also: http://www.adamarchitecture.com/books/bk-RA-Globalisation_Modern-Arch.htm

We reached unexplored themes, and thanks to her this changed our way of thinking.
