Christendom of the Middle Ages

This was a beginning of a new age....the age where the former Roman Empire fell, and the rise of Christianity. The old Roman custom was abolished, sacred places like churches, monastery were build. In my opinion, in this age, Europe was divided into two areas: firstly the embracing of formal style buildings and planning, for example using the idea of paradise garden, having cities and town enclosed behind city walls and fortifications. Secondly the total isolation from society into a more solitude setting in the countryside. For example the monasteries that were located near mountainous areas or next to a coast... This is also a time where the people settled down after several wars and casualties due to perhaps the fall of the Roman Empire???

Also, in this period of time, the church authorities held the major powers in most of the matters. This replaced the former idea where the kings and emperors held absolute power over their subjects. Due to this, religions flourished and its influence expanded in almost every aspect of the society.
