The Romanesque windows were small, narrow with a semicircular lintel (upper part of the head), and their linings, lintels and parapet were sloping. The windows were also paired into double, triple and multi-axis windows or arcades. In the facade gables (for basilicas), a round (rose) window with a tracery (rosette) was often used. The windows of residential residences had mostly flat lintels.
The Romanesque style prevailed in construction and fine arts in the countries of Western, Southern and Central Europe in 11-13. century. In architecture, it was a gradually developed, within Europe and the given epoch, a more or less uniform tradition of building construction and the use of materials. The term "Romanesque" includes an attempt to express the relationship of this building style to the building style of ancient Rome, which was its main inspiration and shared with it some building elements.
