The 11th/12th-century Pilgrimage Church of St. Sernin, Toulouse, France, shows how architectural form may function as symbolic image. The basilica, originally an abbey, is built on a cruciform plan based on the Latin cross. The upper two stages of the crossing tower date from the 14th century, the steeple and spire, from the 15th. Some of the relics in the basilica date back to the time of Charlemagne. This church was built on the ruins of one that was founded in the 4th century and named for the martyred first bishop of Toulouse, St. Sernin. 23

Brunelleschi’s 15th-century dome for Sta. Maria del Fiore launched Renaissance architecture as it crowned the Gothic cathedral that had been begun at the end of the 13th century, when no one in western Europe knew how to build a great dome. Brunelleschi looked back to the domes of ancient Rome to devise the dome that became the forbear of most of the domes familiar to us today. The popular name for the Cathedral of Florence is simply ‘Il Duomo.’ Michelangelo looked to it when he designed the dome for the new St. Peter’s, Rome in the mid-16th century. 25 Michelangelo’s plan consolidated those of predecessors.
