Background
During the Medieval time there were many changes in its architecture. Romanesque is what the style of architecture that was used in the very early middle ages is called. The perpendicular style, or gothic, did not come around until the end of the middle ages. [2]
Romanesque Characteristics
In romanesque style buildings you will see the material used was stone which was cut very precisely. They had influence from Roman architecture, which led to the use of arches. This is the beginning of the use of buttresses to support the designs. [3]
