In the Romanesque period (11th century – 1st half of the 12th century), rose windows were limited to small-diameter oculi located in the side naves. It was in the Gothic period (mid-12th-15th c.) that rose windows achieved greater importance and splendour. During this period they were located on the façades, and were larger and more complexly decorated, with intricate filigree carvings in stone and stained glass windows.
They have a twofold function, one practical, that of letting light into the nave, which even illuminated the altar. On the other hand, a symbolic function, as the light of Christ, assimilated to the sun, and that linked to the rose, related to the Virgin Mary.
