Final #8

Romanesque and Gothic Cathedrals played a big role in the different European civilizations, especially in the theology of religion. So because of this, the archaeologists tried to express their religious views through the structure of Romanesque and Gothic Cathedrals. Through the architecture of Romanesque Cathedrals, fortitude and sanctuary were clearly displayed in the case of an invasion occurring. In the Gothic Cathedrals, it was all about the light being shown throughout the stain glass windows that aligned the cathedral’s walls. This light represented all the glory of God that could not be described in nearly enough words, which was also a sufficient way of spreading the faith they believed in. These cathedrals stood for more than just a building of holiness; they also expressed a deeper meaning in religious theology of that time.

 Romanesque and Gothic Cathedrals contained a much greater meaning than looks may perceive them as. For these cathedrals, express the theology of religion that was believed at the time. From the exterior to the interior, remarkable beliefs are within the structures. Towers, windows, and columns, of both cathedrals are just some of the evidence of the faith in which each cathedral holds within. These glorious cathedrals that plummet into the sky can represent many other different aspects in the society of the people living in that era, but most importantly religious theology.
