Gothic architecture was known for building tall, buildings, with spires and decorated (sometimes stained glass) windows. The arches in gothic architecture are usually tall and pointy, and there was a lot of use of bridges or so-called "flying buttresses", arches that led to the ground to distribute the force of a building's weight to the ground.
