Blind arcade

Blind arcade, Vézelay Abbey, France

A blind arcade or blank arcade[1] is an arcade (a series of arches) that has no actual openings and that is applied to the surface of a wall as a decorative element: i.e., the arches are not windows or openings but are part of the masonry face. It is designed as an ornamental architectural element and has no load-bearing function.
