    The document compares Gothic and Romanesque architecture. Romanesque architecture used round arches, blind arches, small windows, and had dimmer interiors compared to Gothic. It was popular around 1000 CE when the end of the world was believed to be approaching, and the goal was salvation of souls. A famous pilgrimage site exhibiting Romanesque and some Baroque styles was the Shrine of Saint James in Santiago de Compostela, Spain, characterized by a Latin cross floor plan with barrel and groin vaulting and towers on the east or west ends.
