rose windows
Gothic church portholes
Rose windows are large circular windows divided into ornate patterns by stone tracery, typically found in Gothic cathedrals.
The design radiates from the center like petals of a rose, usually filled with stained glass depicting religious scenes or geometric patterns.
The rose window at Notre-Dame dates to the thirteenth century.
