Peristyle surrounding the Roman Baths in Bath, Somerset Wikimedia Commons
A peristyle is a range of columns surrounding a building, courtyard or other architectural feature.[1] The term is a borrowing from the French péristyle , itself derived from the Latin peristylum , referring to the colonnade surrounding the interior court of a building;[2] the court itself is known as the peristylium.[3]
The peristyle was an important feature of Greek and Roman architecture.[4] In the Christian ecclesiastical architecture that developed from the Roman basilica, a courtyard peristyle and its central space came to be known as a cloister Covered walkway usually set out in the form of a square. .[5]
