Catalan Romanesque is an architectural style that emerged in the Catalonia region of Spain during the 11th and 12th centuries. Characterized by its robust stone structures, rounded arches, and thick walls, this style reflects the influence of both Roman architecture and local traditions. Notable examples include the Church of Sant Climent de Taüll and the Cathedral of Santa Maria in Vic. This style is also known for its decorative elements, such as intricate frescoes and sculpted capitals. The use of vibrant colors in wall paintings and the emphasis on religious themes highlight the cultural and spiritual significance of the period. Catalan Romanesque played a crucial role in the development of Gothic architecture in the region.
