Use your notes to contrast churches built in the Romanesque style of architecture with churches built in the Gothic style.

Churches built in the Romanesque style had cross vaults made of stones and had stone roofs. This made them require many pillars to support it. The Gothic styles on the other hand replaced the round barrel vaults with a combination of ribbed vaults and pointed arches. The structures also had flying buttress.

Romanesque churches were usually dark, resembled imperial basilicas, and had heavy roofs that needed to be supported through a variety of engineering methods. Gothic churches, on the other hand, were generally taller, more open, and had large windows which let in light.
