What is a "spire"?
A spire is a tall, pointed structure that rises from the roof of a building, often seen on churches and cathedrals. This architectural feature is designed to draw the eye upward, symbolizing a connection between the earth and the heavens. Spires can vary in height and design, often adorned with decorative elements that enhance the overall appearance of the building. They serve both a functional and aesthetic purpose, providing visual interest to the skyline while also often housing bells or other features. Spires are commonly associated with Gothic and medieval architecture.
