How can we
reconise a
romanesque
building: (church)
•In the buildings the halls have semicircular barrel vaults that was the name of the
ceiling of the big corridors. This construction suffer a big problem that was due to the
thick walls and the round archers , there were several forces that made the wall
separate, and the roof go down, because of that the ceiling of many Romanesque
church's corridors aren’t in they place.
•Cathedral floor plans were in a cruciform shape of a Latin cross, in the apse it is where
you could see the fresco or a stained-glass windows, the Dome was a spherical shape
used in the ceilings of the apses.
