The writer of this paper identifies the key aspects of Gothic
cathedrals with a few examples and comparisons of the cathedrals.
The paper explains how Gothic
cathedrals are some of the most beautiful and enduring
buildings in Europe. It looks at how they have survived for centuries as testaments to the workmen who created them and the architects who designed them. The ornate buildings are as impressive today as when they first grew on the skyline, and they represent a high point in the culture and society of the Middle Ages.
