Revival of European cities and countryside
In the 12th century, cities and countryside experienced a period of prosperity. The population increased. Cities developed and new villages appeared. They also developed industrial architecture.
Windmills and water mills experienced an unparalleled boom. They took over the hills and the rivers. Their sails and wheels worked cogs, pistons and millstones. And to protect them, they were also fortified, as they were a source of energy as important as oil nowadays and they contained precious flour and other staples.
Drawings, illuminations and mural paintings represent this new growth industry.
