An arcade is a succession of arches, each counterthrusting the next, supported by columns or piers, or a covered walk enclosed by a line of such arches on one or both sides.
In a gothic cathedral the arcade is the lowest part of the wall of the nave, supporting the triforium and the clerestory. Modern arcade walkways often include retailers. [edit] Notable arcades - Burlington Arcade, London
