Any other examples of churches with similar buttresses ? Santa Chiara Basilica in Assisi, Italy.
Was recently in Assisi and was astonished to see the buttresses on the Santa Chiara Basilica. I had never seen any like it. Is this rare ? What's the advantage of having the arched buttresses as opposed to as full wall/buttress like it's the case on the right side of the building ?
Any additional info would be much appreciated, wasn't able to find much.
Thanks !
