triforium

In Romanesque and Gothic aisled churches, the stage of wall between the top of the nave arcade and the bottom of the clerestory, masking the lean-to roof over the aisle. It is usually pierced with open arcading, with a wall passage behind; the term is often misapplied to a gallery or tribune. A triforium is also called a blind-storey.
