Major pilgrimage roads developed in Western Europe, inspiring new architectural forms. Pilgrims flocked to relics of saints housed in elaborate reliquaries. Romanesque churches featured iconic Last Judgment scenes on entryways, depicting heaven, hell, and judgment. Sculpture and tapestries further illustrated biblical narratives, with the Bayeux Tapestry uniquely capturing the Norman invasion of England through woven scenes.
