Medieval architecture pushed the limits and step over the boundaries of the world of architecture. Medieval era brought forth what many people today still design there structures around. Medieval architecture introduced the fantastic castles, churches, and more to the world. It influences artists, writers and more in the world. Many movies today use the style of medieval architecture in their work now. One famous medieval structure of the medieval era was the Palatine Chapel. It was the first vaulted structure of the middle Ages north of the Alps. The inside of the Chapel glittered and was represented in a geometric form style. Massive castles and cathedrals where built in this time era, to have many people be able to go to church. To hold thousands of people to participate in church events. Also build massive castles to keep enemy nations out and also castles whereas like a city closed off from the world. A lot of the medieval structures used the Roman building techniques, they also used a lot of the same orders that the Romans used. Like the Ionic and Doric order in some of these structures. But the main reason why most of the outside of the structures seemed so rough and sometimes had that gothic feel was its main purpose was defenses. It was build to have think walls to sustain attacks from evaders. It has narrow windows to be able to shot at the evaders but also at the same time not taking fire from the enemy. Overall medieval architecture is an important role on how buildings are built today.
