I believe the English name for this is just "arches", but maybe there is something better.

This is what we call "voltes" in Catalan, and I suspect next to "galeries" it has to mean this.
Good luck!

Vaults
Series or set of arches whose joints radiate from a central point or line (Oxford)... but being a market, you could be right too.

: DE diccionari confirms 'arch, vault' , but vault seems more like a church, perhaps?
