What is the major difference between Gothic and Romanesque architecture?

Answered by admin @



Romanesque architecture developed during the Middle Ages and lasted more than 200 years. This style features buildings that are solid and massive. Windows were small with less stained glass. These smaller windows made the building darker. Large pillars inside the building were used for support. This style was heavier and similar in appearance than Gothic architecture.

Gothic architecture evolved from the Romanesque style. It came about the 12th century. One of the most important differences between these two styles is that the Gothic style allowed for buildings to be taller. This allowed for stained glass windows to be larger, which then allowed more natural light into the structure. Gothic architecture utilizes flying buttresses and minimal structural support. One of the easiest ways to tell the difference between Gothic and Romanesque is be looking at their arches. Pointed arches were found in Gothic architecture while Romanesque featured rounded arches. The image below shows the difference between the two styles.
