In architecture, a transverse arch is an arch in a vaulted building that goes across the barrel vault. A series of transverse arches sitting on tops of the columns on the sides of the nave was typical in the churches of Romanesque architecture. By analogy, the term is also used to describe an arch that separates one groin vault from another and for any crosswise arch in modern buildings.
