I think people wouldn't _understand_ the difference, but I don't think they wouldn't notice.
If you limit yourself to churches, the difference between San Paolo[0] in Rome, Milan's Duomo[1] and Venice' San Marco[2] is pretty obvious, since they come from 3 cultures which were pretty different.
Do you need a book/guide to understand why they look like that? Sure, but I bet you can tell they are different.

- Markoff 6y agoI looked at them and you missed my point, if I would wake up and look at any of these churches I would have no idea in what country I am, but I would guess it's somewhere in Europe, for instance the one you shown in Milan could be as well in Prague or in any German city, so as I said they use pretty much same, that bazilica from Venice could be as well Budapest, these are not distinctive styles you could distinguish unless you have particular interest while if I would look at regular street in India with their temple, then look at temple in Thailand and then at some European church I could see the difference nobody is saying you won't notice difference, but it's pointless because it won't help you placing you in specific country unless you have interest in old architecture styles
