One characteristic of Gothic cathedrals is their pointed arches, which help distribute weight more efficiently than rounded arches. Another characteristic is the use of ribbed vaults, which allowed for higher ceilings and more natural light to enter the building through stained glass windows. Flying buttresses are also a distinctive feature of Gothic cathedrals, providing external support for the walls and allowing for thinner walls and larger windows.
