UNDERLINED TERMS ARE DEFINED IN THE GLOSSARY.
The basilicaa church building, usually facing east, with a tall main nave and two or four side aisles of lesser height. There may also be a transept between the nave and the choir, which is reserved for the clergy. Originally, the basilica was an ancient Greek administrative building, and the Romans used this form for markets and law courts; it then became a place of assembly for the early Christians, and thus a church. of Santo Stefano encompasses a complex of religious edifices in the city of Bologna. (It is also known as "The Seven Churches.") It includes the Church of the Holy Sepulchre which, according to tradition, was built over a temple of the goddess Isis by St Petronius, a bishop of the city during the 5th century. (It was rebuilt in the 12th century.) This church is a deliberate evocation of the Holy Sepulchre in Jerusalem.
