In architecture, an aisle is a wing of a house or a lateral division of a large building.
The earliest examples of aisles can be found in the Basilica Ulpia in Rome.

In Romanesque architecture, the roofs of the aisles are at roughly equal heights to the nave.
Some churches in Germany have aisles and nave roofs at the same height, known as Hallenkirchen.
Aisles in churches are passageways separated from the nave by colonnades or arcades.
Aisles can be categorized as nave-aisles, transept-aisles, and choir-aisles.
