The aediculae can be square-domed structures on the corners (kutas) and intermediate barrel-vaulted halls (salas) connected by segments of a miniature vaulted cloister (hara). This style of stone temple architecture began in the seventh century and continued to develop over the centuries. ]]></note></mads>
