Romanesque
Renaissance
Baroque
The art epoch of Gothic flourished between 1140 and 1500 AD. The term “gothic” was used as a pejorative to describe a rude and barbaric culture.
Its main characteristics are:
- ornaments
- slight and structured columns on a polygonal plan
- accentuation on the vertical (48 m high)
- ripped vaults
- ogival arches
- large windows
The cathedral is the symbol for the Christian religion and reflects at the same time the civic pride.
