What are the contribution of romanesque architecture?
Romanesque Architecture is a form of medieval architecture that adapts the roman styles of construction (as in the phrase "roman"-esque), seen distinctly in its rounded arches. It developed around 6th century AD and is often compared to its descendant, Gothic Architecture. What makes it different is the lack of large penetrations in the walls (examples are taken from the medieval churches as little else constructed from that time remains standing). Most of these churches often used tapestries rather than stained glass (as in the high Gothic ages) to document and/or tell stories. The romanesque churches have a rather heavy feel to them with very solid and large wall structures with attached (rather than flying) buttresses.

Why is Romanesque the common style of architecture?
After the fall of the West Roman Empire, there was not a lot of easy communication of ideas in Europe. People did not travel much, and they did not write much. This changed with time, especially with the establishment of the Carolingian Empire, and the subsequent developments of the Kingdom of France and the Holy Roman Empire, and also with the crusades. As communications improved, ideas flowed more, and people traveled more. This led to fashions that existed throughout much of Europe. The people of the time, establishing those fashions, looked back to times of classical antiquity, and tried to emulate the arts and architecture of the Roman Empire. This led to the widespread use of the Romanesque. It was the first pan-European architecture since the fall of the West Roman Empire, and seems to have been consciously influenced by the architecture of ancient Rome.
