The medieval social and economic order resulted in a type of cities and towns that we take to be charming today. They were compact, walled centers built around the church, the market square and the castle, if there was one. The streets were narrow, just enough for carts and carts to pass, and the artisan guilds made up the neighborhoods (or burgs). Everything had its place and everyone had their role around vassalage. Today it is difficult for us to see the muddy streets, the smells of spices, cheeses and meats from the market or the roads without sewers and we cannot imagine the dense footsteps of the cows or the screams of an innkeeper or the cracks of the feudal lord's whip. We don't know what medieval cities have. A well of legends, aromas, traditions. That? And although we would not change our lives for theirs, the medieval charm captivates us during our trips.
The same irrelevant question always occurs to me: if feudalism were the order of the s. 21st century and our world were that of the 13th century, if all technological and scientific progress was withdrawn, if they lived now and we lived before, would they admire our cities and ways of life as we admire these medieval towns ? 1.
