Medieval towns primarily developed in Europe, particularly in regions with favorable trade routes, near rivers, or along coastlines. These towns typically featured a central marketplace, narrow winding streets, and buildings made of timber or stone, often with overhanging upper floors. Towns were often surrounded by walls for protection, and they included essential facilities like churches, guild halls, and workshops, reflecting the social and economic activities of the time. As centers of commerce and craft, they attracted a growing population, leading to vibrant urban life.

Some were independent of any monarch, and this was especially true in Italy. Others, though locally republican, were at least nominally subject to a king or emperor.
