or Corridor, in Fortification, a road or way along the edge of the ditch, without side; encompassing the whole fortification. The word comes from the Italian coridore, or the Spanish corridor.
It is also called the covert-way, because covered with a glacis, or esplanade, serving it as a parapet.—The corridor is about 20 yards broad.
Coridor is also used in architecture for a gallery or long aisle around a building, leading to several chambers at a distance from each other, sometimes wholly inclosed, and sometimes open on one side.
