As with the Romanesque Sainte-Madeleine in Vézelay (10-21), rows of columns seem to march with heavy tread, like armies, toward the altar. The whole shape of the church is like a rounded tunnel, a round arch extended through space to form a barrel vaults (see Chapter 10).

The answer is Barrel vaults

The Basilica of Sainte-Madeleine in Vezelay is the original Abbey church left from a Benedictine -Cluniac monastery and the vaults in the nave are Romanesque. It is one of the best examples of Romanesque architecture in Europe.
