Episode Overview
Following the collapse of Rome, the Christians of Europe preserved cultural heritage through art deeply connected to their faith. We explore robust Romanesque churches adorned with artwork that upheld the established order. Simultaneously, Europe experienced a revival from its borders: the Byzantines to the East showcased stunning mosaics; the Muslims in Spain constructed opulent palaces; and the fierce Vikings from the North contributed to this vibrant cultural melting pot.
