The structure of the meninges in made up of three layers called:  

1. Dura mater: Tough outer layer present just underneath the skull which contains the vasculature of the brain. The dura mater contains two layers of connective tissue called: periosteal layer and meningeal layer.

2. Arachnoid Mater: Middle layer of the brain which is devoid of the vasculature.

3.  Pia mater: thin inner layer of the meninges which is tightly adhered to the contours of the brain.
