Extract

There were two main styles of architecture in the middle ages. Gothic style architecture included big churches called cathedrals. Cathedrals had tall skyscraper-like towers. They made them that way to get people to look up in the sky and think of God. Gothic architecture involved lots of big windows of stained glass. The Gothic style was developed fully in France and England during the 12th century. By the 13th century, Gothic style spread to Germany. A real and true Gothic cathedral is the Milan Cathedral in Italy. The
Gothic church here is a picture of St. Chapelle in Paris, France. It was built in the mid-1200s.
