First Romanesque

First Romanesque

One of the first streams of Romanesque architecture in Europe from the 10th century and the beginning of 11th century is called First Romanesque or Lombard Romanesque. It took place in the Lombardy (Northern Italy), in the regions of Girona, Lleida and Huesca (the Spanish Mark), and in the south of France. Its principal decoration for the exterior, bands of ornamental blind arches are called lombard bands. It was characterized by thick walls and lack of sculpture in facades, and with interiors profusely painted with frescoes.

Catalan architect Josep Puig i Cadafalch suggested that what was formerly considered the late form of Pre-Romanesque architecture of Catalonia and Aragón bore features of Romanesque and thus classified it as First Romanesque ("primer romànic"). The First Romanesque churches of the Vall de Boí were declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO in November 2000.
