Vivaldi

3. Voussoir are used in the construction of what architectural element? There are a couple of possible answers; you just need to give me one.

Arch or Vault. They are the wedge-shaped blocks. I'm sorry if the lack of an "s" on the end of voussoir caused problems. It looked right to me this way. But it is probably not.

Volleyball

POINTS
