Syrian arch

Isaac Kremer/ January 14, 2018/ / 0 comments

A type of semicircular arch that has very low supports, with the result that the distance from the impost to the level of the crown of the arch is greater than the height of the impost from the ground. It is so called because it was used in the Early Christian churches of Syria, in the 5th and 6th centuries. (Whiffen, 1969)
