aisled
With paths between
Aisled describes something that has one or more aisles—the passageways between rows of seats, shelves, or other structures.
Churches, theaters, airplanes, and grocery stores are commonly aisled spaces.
The word appears most often in architectural or retail contexts: an aisled basilica, a wide-aisled supermarket.
In church architecture specifically, aisled refers to the side passages flanking the nave, separated by columns or piers.
