What is a "basilica"?
A basilica is a large, rectangular building that is typically used for public gatherings or religious purposes. It features a main central area that is wider than the side areas, allowing for a spacious interior. Often, there is a raised section at one end where important activities or ceremonies take place. This design allows for plenty of light and open space, making it suitable for large groups of people. Basilicas were commonly built in ancient Rome and have influenced many churches and public buildings throughout history.
