Norman architecture is also called "Romanesque" since it shares many features of Roman styles, including round arches supported by complete or half-pillars set against the walls each side.

A typical Norman doorway has a number of pillars set at an angle to the plain of the doorway, supporting decorated tops from which the same number of recessed semicircular arches spring. These arches were typically decorated with carved zigzag patterns called "dogtooth".

Originally Norman pillars and arches in churches and other important buildings were brightly painted but almost none of this paintwork survives.
