Medieval Churches & Monestaries
Difference between Romanesque and Gothic Artchitecture Video
Romanesque structures featured round arches and heavy thick walls, small windows like the Roman style
(necessary so the windows do not weaken the structure). A lot of sculptural decorations.
Gothic structures featured pointed arches and have slender feel as if they soar upward (to Heaven), large stained
glass windows filtered in light and color.
Byzantine structures featured large Domes that cover soaring spaces, arches and lavish decoration.
Students should be able to identify the two styles below.
