Question

What's the difference between Romanesque and Gothic style buildings?

Answer 1

Romanesque church; massive and fortress like, thick walls, few windows, heavy stone roofs, huge columns, round Roman arches.

Gothic cathedral; had flying buttresses to support the walls, had tall spires, lofty towers, and pointed arches. Open, spacious interior, stained glass windows.

Hope this helps. :)

Answer 2

Romanesque style buildings have semi-circular arches. Gothic style buildings have long, narrow columns. Gothic style came from/evolved from Romanesque style.
