What is an "ambulatory"?
An ambulatory is a covered walkway or passage, typically found in religious buildings, such as churches or cathedrals. It usually runs around the perimeter of the main hall or sanctuary, allowing people to move around without disturbing the central worship area. Ambulatories can also provide access to chapels or other sections of the building. In addition to serving a practical purpose, they often feature decorative elements like arches, columns, or stained glass windows, enhancing the overall aesthetic of the space. The design of an ambulatory encourages movement and interaction while maintaining a sense of reverence and contemplation.
