Since Carolingian times, "choir" has been the word for the part of the central nave of the church extending over the crossing (the place where nave and transept intersect), and including the apse (a niche in the wall, roofed with a half dome) that often stands at the end of this area. and transepts, towering above the Fontebranda, is built up from the hillside on a high substructure which contains a vaulted cryptunderground chamber beneath the altar in a church, usually containing a saint's relics. Though the chamber is underneath the choir, it can extend as far as the crossing. It is not always completely underground, so that the choir and altar sometimes considerably higher than the nave and aisles; as a result, very impressive flights of steps were built to connect nave and choir. so monumental as to be effectively a lower church.
