Blind Arcade
An arcade that has no actual openings and that is applied to the surface of a wall to enliven it or to articulate the design: i.e. the arches are not windows but are are part of the masonry face. It has no load-bearing function. Blind arcades are often found on the facades of medieval Armenian churches. - http://www.virtualani.org/glossary/index.htm

The Tower of Pisa was built in three stages over a period of about 177 years. Construction of the first floor of the white marble campanile began on 1173, a period of military success and prosperity. This first floor is a blind arcade articulated by engaged columns with classical Corinthian capitals. - http://www.thinklab360.com/en/pisa-virtual-tour/miracles-squ...
