Beowulf-The Hero

Gothic architecture has numerous distinguishing features. On this video, we find samples of trefoil windows, elegant tracery, and gargoyles. Notice, as well, how waterspouts were used for drainage on the side of a building. Most of the pictures come from Barcelona's Barrio Gotico, but some come from the internet and include Notre Dame in Paris.
