A journey through medieval history through the private lives and customs, gestures and intimacy of anonymous people, based on the analysis of their main public and private spaces.
There is a beautiful Latin word to describe materials from old buildings reused in later constructions. That word, spolia, could characterize what the Middle Ages essentially was. The foundations that supported the ancient world were used to build, together with the foundations of Christianity and Islam, a rich, colorful, different society that was at the same time very similar to modern-day human beings. Both archeology and written sources have built bridges to show us the daily life of these people and the political, economic, social and religious changes that left their mark on their daily lives.

Everyday life in the Middle Ages analyzes the main public and private spaces in medieval villages and the way in which this type of life was transformed with the appearance of the first cities. In this way we approach the reality of the sensations, the gestures, the intimate, the close and the familiar of the ordinary men and women who lived under those ten centuries of light and darkness.
