When people talk about "Gothic architecture" we tend to think of cathedrals and churches.

But the Middle Ages were also full of beautiful town halls, universities, hospitals, and bridges.

So here is a journey through the world of secular Gothic architecture...

The word "Gothic" wasn't how people during the Middle Ages referred to their buildings.

It was Renaissance scholars who, with their interest in the architecture of Antiquity, called the Medieval style "Gothic" as a pejorative reference to the Goths who had sacked Rome:

So the best place to start is with town halls.

By their very nature they speak to a time when power was shifting, new classes were emerging, and politics were changing.

Like the Palazzo Vecchio, built in the 1300s for the council that governed the Republic of Florence:

Or, on the other side of Europe, the town hall of Tallin, completed in 1404.

Tallinn was part of the Hanseatic League, an economic and diplomatic alliance of merchant cities, and so the town hall represents Tallinn's legislative independence from foreign, imperial rulers.

Very nice to see the tomb of Phillip II. The way queen Olympias was killed, I hope there may be no tomb for her. Also please tweet historians except for the Socrates tomb below, we've not found Plato and Aristotle tombs right, still the disputes aren't settled, right?
