EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken circa 1910, showcases a picturesque street in Tournai, Belgium, showcasing a collection of Romanesque houses that date back to the 12th century. The Romanesque architectural style, prevalent during the Middle Ages, is characterized by its heavy use of stone, round arches, and intricate ornamentation. The houses in this image display the distinctive features of Romanesque architecture, with their round arched doorways and windows, sturdy gables adorned with intricate carvings, and decorative pipe drainpipes. The doors, with their heavy wooden frames and iron hinges, exude a sense of history and durability. The windows, with their small panes and simple designs, allow a glimpse into the past, inviting us to imagine the lives of those who once called these houses their home. The houses are situated on a narrow, cobblestone street, with the sound of horse hooves and the clatter of carts echoing through the air. The road, lined with trees, leads us deeper into the heart of Tournai, a town rich in history and architectural wonders. The gables of the houses, some adorned with crosses and other religious symbols, speak to the town's deep-rooted religious heritage. This photograph is a testament to the enduring beauty and historical significance of Tournai's Romanesque houses, which continue to captivate visitors from around the world. It is a reminder of the importance of preserving our architectural heritage for future generations to appreciate and learn from.
