basílica
Originally designating a roman public building with civic and judicial functions, this term and the associated architectural elements were later borrowed for large or ceremonially important catholic churches. Generally, the form includes a large rectangular center nave-like space, flanked by columned aisles and a clerestory, with a main entrance at one end and a raised altar at another.
