Romanesque Design

The fundamental emblematic structure of the Romanesque was the church. Since churches were built to serve the specific requirements of the liturgy, their construction changed as those needs changed. Romanesque architects built a wide variety of different buildings, of which the most common were: village churches, abbey churches, cathedrals and castles. The most important were the great abbey churches, many of which are in use. Typical characteristics of Romanesque architecture include semi-circular, thick walls, Arcades, masonry vaulted roof and towers. some of the more famous buildings designed in the Romanesque design is the Pisa Baptistery.
