Bóveda de crucería = Cross vault, cloister vault, ribbed vault.

After digging around more, I think the above 3 are slightly different and that the best is cloister vault.

Cross vault (aka groin vault) is where 2 barrel vaults cross which is not what I am looking for.

Ribbed vault has extra ribbing, which again is not what I want.

Ergo "cloister vault"

Muchas gracias otra vez.
