Gothic Architecture, an "inspired departure from traditional architecture in order to achieve radiant light." |
| The rapid spread of Christianity marks the Middle Ages, which spans from the fifth to the fifteenth century. Gothic architecture, characterized by soaring towers, flying buttresses, and beautiful, expansive stained glass, gives the many cathedrals that were erected at this time, elegance, mysticism and light that point towards the powerful God for whom they were created. |
