People visiting pilgrimage churches often wanted to walk around the church and observe the architecture. After walking down one side aisle, they would walk in front of the altar to amble down the other side aisle. Oftentimes this was disruptive to an ongoing church service. Ambulatories provide a pathway around the back of the altar for visitors to walk across covertly. Pilgrimage churches usually implemented this design to accommodated the large influx of people they anticipated would be walking through the church.
