Arcade

Arcade, a series of arches upheld by pillars or columns, either open or closed by masonry behind. A more modern use of the term applies it to any gallery or passage lined with shops, as the Burlington or Lowther Arcades. The term is again applied to the row of arches or piers dividing the aisles of a church from the nave.
