| Publisher Description: Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Throughout Europe, the influence of Gothic architecture can be spotted in the world's greatest cities and tourist spots. The architects of this genre, sandwiched between the Romanesque and Renaissance periods, used high arches, flying buttresses and tall towers to accent their designs. This book looks at what inspired the most-famous Gothic architects and their best designs.
