Semicircular arch (Pianella bridge, Corse-du-Sud, 15th century)

In architecture, a semicircular arch is an arch with an intrados (inner surface) shaped like a semicircle.[1][2] This type of arch was adopted and very widely used by the Romans, thus becoming permanently associated with Roman architecture.[3]
