Romanesque Architecture

Romanesque architecture is a medieval building tradition represented in sacred spaces and architectural ensembles such as Mont Saint Michel and Pisa. These places developed across several periods, bringing different stages of construction into a connected setting. Their composition, height, and exterior treatment show relationships between individual buildings and the larger experience of medieval sacred space.
