As the main place for the spread of religious activities, most of the churches have a long history and are representative of the art of architecture. If you have traveled in Europe, you may have noticed: no matter whether you go to the busiest city or the quietest small town, there is always an attraction that is a church.
From the 12th century AD to the 15th century AD, cities had become the political, religious, economic and cultural centers of the kingdoms. And churches were the tallest and most magnificent buildings in these cities.
In the Middle Ages, churches were often the only stone buildings in the countryside, and their spires were landmarks that peasants from near and far looked up to. Churches were a source of spiritual pride and wonder in the lives of the villagers.
Churches usually sit in the east and face west. The congregation enters from the west, facing east. This is because the east is where the sun rises, and the rising of the sun symbolizes the resurrection of Christ.
