The Middle Ages, or Medieval Times, in Europe was a long period of history from 500 AD to 1500 AD. That's 1000 years! It covers the time from the fall of the Roman Empire to the rise of the Ottoman Empire.
This was a time of castles and peasants, guilds and monasteries, cathedrals and crusades. Great leaders such as Joan of Arc and Charlemagne were part of the Middle Ages as well as major events such as the Black Plague and the rise of Islam.
The Romanesque style refers to the types of cathedrals, monasteries, and places of religion built during the 1000s-1100s in Europe, and it gets its name from looking very Roman in appearance. In other words, columns and arches were frequently used, just like in ancient Roman architecture. Gothic buildings, on the other hand, came later. These were popular just after the Romanesque style began to lose its appeal, and were very fancy in comparison.
Cathedrals in the Gothic style were often narrow inside, filled with stained glass windows, and frequently had what were known as “flying buttresses” or large, curved stone arches connected to the outside of the building to give it support. This style became very popular for cathedrals throughout Europe, such as Reims Cathedral in France and Westminster Abbey in England. Many of these cathedrals have been well taken care of, and you can still visit them today.
