During the Middle Ages, cities were often crowded and surrounded by walls for protection. They were centers of trade, commerce, and culture, with narrow streets and buildings made of stone or wood. The majority of people lived in small, cramped houses, and sanitation was poor, leading to unsanitary conditions. Guilds and markets were common, and the church played a significant role in city life.
