Fan tracery is an architectural feature commonly found in Gothic cathedrals, characterized by its elegant, fan-shaped patterns created by the arrangement of stone ribs in the vaulting of a ceiling. This style of tracery resembles the spread of a fan, with the ribs radiating out from a central point and forming a visually intricate design. Fan tracery is often used in the construction of chapels and the interiors of churches, adding a sense of lightness and grace to the space. This decorative element not only enhances the aesthetic appeal but also supports the structure, allowing for larger windows that can be filled with beautiful stained glass, further illuminating the interior.
