Shaded area is the transeptA Latin cross plan is a floor plan found in many Christian churches and cathedrals.[8] When looked at from above or in plan view it takes the shape of a Latin cross (crux immissa).[9] Such cruciform churches were very common in the West during the Romanesque period.[2] The Latin cross plans have a nave with aisles or chapels, or both, and a transept that forms the arms of the cross.[9] It also has at least one apse that traditionally faces east. Many also have a narthex at the entry.[9]In computer systems[edit]For information on how to enter these symbols on your computer, see Unicode inputThe glyph has a unicode code point: U+271D \u271d LATIN CROSSSimilar marks[edit]See also[edit]References[edit]^ Herbert Norris, Church Vestments: Their Origin and Development (Mineola, NY: Dover Publications, 2002), p. 128^ a b Curl, James Stevens (2015). cross: Latin.
