The vault, or vaulted arch is a structure made up of two or four intersecting arches. There Romans had two types: the groin arch, which is formed by two to four intersecting barrel (simple) arches and the rib arch, where the intersecting arches are of different diameter. This structure has an even greater load-bearing capacity than the simple arch. It is suited for supporting large roofs.

The term renaissance means rebirth and refers to the rebirth of interests in the classics (the Romans and the Greeks) which started in Italy in the 14th century and then spread around Europe. The use of Roman models for architecture was further stimulated by the rediscovery of a textbook of Roman architecture by an ancient Roman architect, Vitruvius.
