This book presents the most important cities of the medieval world. You will discover the greatness of these urban centers through an explanation of their evolution, growth, and even decadence over time and up to the present day. What ties these cities together is their monumental nature and the rich heritage that they have left, although it is true that many have since lost many of the cultural and artistic treasures that made them so great. The book includes stories on the most important events in each as well as a critical analysis of the urban centers.
