What is a "trefoil arch"?

A trefoil arch is an architectural feature that consists of a three-lobed design, resembling the shape of a cloverleaf. This type of arch is created by combining three smaller arches, which meet at a central point, forming a pointed or rounded shape. Trefoil arches are often used in Gothic and Romanesque architecture, adding decorative and symbolic elements to buildings such as cathedrals and churches. The trefoil design not only enhances the aesthetic appeal of an arch but also represents concepts such as the Holy Trinity in Christian symbolism, making it significant in religious architecture.
