What is the circular stained-glass window called?

Lancet Window Clerestory Oriel Window Rose Window

Correct Answer:

Rose Window

Explanation:

A circular stained-glass window is called a rose window. In Gothic cathedrals, rose windows feature a wheel-like, radial design with tracery that splits the circle into petals around a central point, filled with colorful glass to create dramatic light. This contrasts with a lancet window, which is tall and narrow with a pointed arch; a clerestory, which is the upper level with windows to let in light; and an oriel window, which is a projecting bay window. The distinctive circular, flower-like form and intricate glass make it the rose window.
