The San Miniato al Monte, Located in Florence Italy, Built in 1013-90, ( Image located at http://www.norreg.dk/).
The Saint Madeleine shows the giant arches of the time the small narrow windows and the use of capitals inside the church. Also the building being made of stone is a feature of the Romanesque movement. The Ely Cathedral incorporates the giant towers at the facade of the cathedral and the tower over the cross it also shows the narrow arched windows along the sides of the cathdral. The San Miniato el Monte shows the diversity between the movement between the coutries. In Italy the movement wasnt well accepted and shows the marble covered walls, the shallow pilasters linked bu the arches, and the trussed rafter roof.
Overrall the movement was significantly different from country to country. The movement is very similar to that of the Roman although i don't like this movement as much because of the diversity accross Europe, it seems to of not been as strongly influenced as the periods before.
