To accurately determine the architectural style of the cathedral you are referring to, I would need more specific details or a visual reference. However, I can provide you with some characteristics of each architectural style mentioned:

  1. Byzantine architecture: Characterized by large domes, intricate mosaics, and a central plan, often with cross-in-square designs. Commonly found in churches built during the Byzantine Empire.

  2. Gothic architecture: Known for pointed arches, ribbed vaults, and flying buttresses, along with large stained glass windows. It typically features vertical extensions and elaborate decorations.

  3. Migration Period architecture: Relates to early medieval architecture, often simplistic due to the socio-political climate of the time, characterized by solid structures, small windows, and basic forms.

  4. Romanesque architecture: Features rounded arches, thick walls, and large towers, with decorative arcading and relatively dark interiors due to smaller windows.

If you can provide more information about the cathedral in question, I can make a more informed conclusion about its architectural style. Otherwise, you may need to choose based on the characteristics that most resonate with the style of the cathedral you are considering.
