Tall buildings made from stone were supported using load-bearing walls, which distribute the weight of the structure vertically down to the foundation. This method relies on the compressive strength of the stone material to handle the vertical loads. Additionally, buttresses and piers were often incorporated to provide lateral support and enhance structural stability. Advancements in architectural design, such as the use of arches and vaults, also helped to support the weight of tall stone buildings.
