8Distinct Plan
Source: Link
The Acerenza Cathedral has a Latin Cross ground plan with three aisles which are linked to an elevated presbytery. At the back of the presbytery is an apse which has a passage around a cloister. The ground plan also consists of three chapels. This unique plan is a very rare feature in many traditional church designs. The transept of the cathedral ends at each sides in a crescent-shaped chapel. The ambulatory houses the altar. Click the next ARROW to see the next photo!
