this type of vault is called "barrel vault". i once lifed in a house which had this in the basement. in that former days it was a very common method of constructing vaults for rugged ceilings and high bearing capacity. it takes a lot to get this ceiling come down.

Yeah, they emptied out some cemetaries to use the land, and filled up some quarries with the remains. You could be standing on a street in Paris above the catacombs and never know it. They closed the area off from tours for a long time, and only recently re-opened the tours. The dust on the floor from the crumbling bones gets on your shoes, and you track it onto the street outside, it looks like cigarette ashes on the sidewalk.

Look at how the ceiling meets the wall... The ceiling isn't actually flat (even though it looks that way) it's arched.
