1. romanesque

   Romanesque is an architectural and artistic style which emerged in Europe during the late Middle Ages, specifically during the 10th -12th centuries. This style is characterized by the use of robust, rounded arches, thick walls, large towers, decorative arcading, and symmetrical layouts, often seen in churches, castles, and other monumental buildings. It also includes sculptural and painting elements featuring elaborate, religious-themed decorations. The term "Romanesque" stands for "Roman-like", as this style shares similarities with ancient Roman architecture.
