basilican

But before speaking of the basilican and other churches of this time, the Misericordia at Vianna do Castello must be described.

Many Byzantine churches, both cruciform and basilican, have been excavated.

Constantinople preserved till recently a basilican church of the 5th century, that of St John Studios, 463, now a ruin.

The Basilican form, too, has vanished; we have now the nave and transepts of the Latin cross.
