Romanesque Architecture emerged in Europe during the 9th and 12th centuries, characterized by its sturdy appearance, rounded arches, barrel and groin vaults, and the use of solid masonry walls. This architectural style features thick walls, towers, intricate carvings, and small rounded arches. Rounded barrel and groin vaults were also common in Romanesque architecture, providing structural stability to buildings. The style’s solid, fortress-like appearance significantly impacted European architecture, and its influence can still be seen in the development of Gothic architecture.
