A clerestory is a type of window that is usually found at or near the roof line. Often they take the form of a band of [https://www.designingbuildings.co.uk/wiki/Window windows] across the tops of buildings that allow natural light in without compromising privacy or security.

The purpose of a clerestory is to illuminate the interior space with natural light.

In Roman architecture, clerestories were often used to light large halls where the interior walls were far apart from the structure’s exterior walls. Semi-circular windows were often built above the side roofs using groined vaults.

While clerestories were common features during the Roman and Gothic periods of architecture, they are still found today in large buildings such as halls, train stations, gymnasiums, and so on. In domestic applications, they can be found as a narrow band of windows along the top of a wall.
