Summary

A large, rectangular building style originally used in ancient Rome for public meetings and later adapted by Christians for churches. It usually has a long central hall (nave) with side aisles, an [[Apse]] (curved area) at one end, and sometimes a [[Clerestory]] with windows high on the walls to let in light.

Example: The Old St. Peter’s Basilica in Rome, built in the 4th century CE.
