Were the town important in the middle ages?

Answer 1

They were the center for tradeing and other things

Answer 2

In Western Europe, the most important city was Rome. In Eastern Europe, it was Constantinople. Other cities were also important for certain specific reasons. Cordoba was important as a cultural center, especially for education and medicine, possibly in competition with Salerno. Lübeck was the central city of the Hanseatic League, and so was probably the most important trading center in Northern Europe.

Answer 3

I don't think there was a single city that dominated the later Middle Ages.

Rome was the center of the Roman Catholic Church.

Constantinople was the center of the Eastern Orthodox Church and capital of the Byzantine Empire.

Córdoba was the center of medical knowledge.

Paris was a center for education.

Lübeck was the central city of the Baltic trading routes.

Florence was the city from which the Renaissance is said to have spread.
