- Abstract
An in-depth study of the Gothic architectural expressions in the territories of the Crown of Aragon, whether in Spain, southern France, Sardinia, Sicily or Naples and voluntarily away from a take based on current national borders, allows for the discovery of the existence of a number of aesthetic, typological and constructive characteristics. In short, a common essence to all of them, which transcends the local differences and particularities, called Mediterranean Gothic. Beyond the common presence, in all the variants of the Gothic style, of formal and decorative features, Mediterranean Gothic has a personality of its own that extends throughout the Mediterranean areas of present Spain, France and Italy. These territories share climatic and topographic conditions and maintained a close political, economic and cultural relationship for centuries within the Crown of Aragon. These relationships are embodied by architectural typologies, whether religious, civil or military, that extend throughout the territory of the Crown and provide a unitary artistic and constructive sense to the Mediterranean architecture of the fourteenth and fifteenth centuries.
