Romanesque architectural features

Romanesque architecture (English: Romanesque architecture, also translated as Romanesque architecture, Romanesque architecture, Roman-like architecture) is an architectural style characterized by semi-circular arches in medieval Europe, which gradually changed from 12 century to Gothic architecture characterized by pointed arches. Although there were different suggestions on the origin of this style from the 6th century to the10th century, there is still no idea of * * *, but its architectural examples are all over the European continent, which is the first popular architectural form in Europe since ancient Roman architecture. In Britain, this style tends to refer to Norman architecture in the traditional sense.

Romanesque architecture has the characteristics of both western Rome and Byzantine architecture, and is famous for its solid quality, thick walls, semicircular arches, solid piers, arched domes, huge towers and decorative multi-arch decorations. Every building has a clear and definite form, and often adopts a regular and symmetrical plane, so when compared with later Gothic buildings, there will be a simple image on the whole. Although there are regional characteristics and material differences, this form can still be recognized throughout Europe.

Many castles were built during this period, but the number far exceeded that of churches. Most notably, those monasteries and churches, a large part of which still exist, are almost complete and often used.

Gothic architecture (English: Gothic architecture), or translated Gothic architecture, is an architectural style that prevailed at the peak and end of the Middle Ages. It developed from Romanesque architecture and was inherited by Renaissance architecture.

It originated in France in the12nd century and continued to the16th century. Gothic architecture is generally called "Opus Francigenum", and the word "Gothic" appeared in the late Renaissance with a derogatory meaning. The characteristics of Gothic architecture include pointed arch, ribbed vault and flying arch.

Gothic architecture is the most common in episcopal churches, monasteries and churches in Europe. It also appears in many castles, palaces, halls, halls, universities and even private houses.

The overall style of Gothic architecture is lofty and slender, expressing mysterious, sad and lofty strong feelings with superb architectural skills, which has a great influence on other arts in later generations. The priceless architectural art such as Gothic Cathedral has been included in UNESCO World Heritage, and it has also become a study of cathedrals and churches.
