Note: Construction activity is one of the most impressive aspects of medieval Europe and is addressed by considering the historical-artistic facts, within the broad horizon of cultural, economic and political events. The volume, starting from an introductory essay by Dieter Kimpel (which traces the guidelines of the phenomenon and identifies its underlying themes) unfolds with twelve exemplary cases of as many civil and religious buildings: Montecassino, San Marco in Venice, the Speyer Cathedral, Santiago de Compostela, the Cathedral of Modena, Narbonne, Lichfield, Strasbourg, the Angevin ''castrum novum'' in Naples, San Vito in Prague, the Cathedral of Milan, the Town Hall of Ghent.
