medieval architecture
Flying buttress era
Medieval architecture refers to building styles that prevailed in Europe from roughly the 5th to 15th centuries, spanning the fall of Rome to the Renaissance.
The term encompasses Romanesque structures with their thick walls and rounded arches, and Gothic cathedrals with pointed arches, flying buttresses, and vast stained-glass windows.
The medieval architecture of Notre-Dame drew millions of visitors each year.
