Como verás esta nave está compuesta por un arco abocinado, el cual es muy característico en construcciones medievales. Se trata de un arco que es más anho por un lado de la pared que por otro.

" Arco Abocinado
cat: arc atrompetat m; eng: embrasure arch
m . Arco que tiene más luz en un paramento que en el opuesto."

Despite the translation in the previous reference, "embrasure arch" is not the normal term for this (as far as I know); it is normally called a splayed arch:
"splayed arch
Arch over an aperture with splayed jambs, i.e. with a larger span on the inside wall than on the exterior."
