Levantine Gothic
The Levantine Gothic is the Gothic style developed in Levante, the Mediterranean area of Spain, characterized by its halls and churches of great horizontal extent with emphasis on the structural part supported by buttresses and minimal and austere decorations.
The main differences with Castilian Gothic are:
- single nave instead of three, in case that there are, has the same height and the wider central
- chapels between the buttresses
- thinner supports
- low figurative decoration, dominated by the geometric type
- minor surface of openings, resulting in a low light penetration.
Many buildings of this architectural style can be found around the region of Valencia with its own style Valencian Gothic and across the Balearic Islands.
