WHY?Slide7
USE OF BARREL VAULTS, GROIN VAULTS AND DOMES
WHY?
SINCE THE ARCHITECTS DECIDED TO BUILD THE CHURCHES WITH STONE, THEIR ROOFS NEEDED ROMANESQUE TECHNIQUES SUCH AS THESE VAULTS TO COVER THE LARGE BUILDINGSSlide8
THE FLOOR PLAN WAS IN THE SHAPE OF A LATIN CROSS
WITH LATERAL AISLES SEPARATED BY LARGE ARCHADES
THERE WERE LOTS OF PILGRIMAGES TO VISIT SITES OF SAINTS AND MARTYRS. PEOPLE BELIEVED THAT HOLY RELICS HAD THE POWER TO DO MIRACLES. THE ROUTES TO THE MORE FAMOUS HOLY PLACES, SUCH AS SANTIAGO, REQUIRED LARGER BUILDINGS TO HOLD THE LARGE CROWDS. THE BASILICA STYLE COULD NOT HOLD THE LARGE CROWDS WHO WERE COMING.
