Early Christian

Once the Christian church was freed from persecution and allowed to be practiced, churches of all forms bean to appear. Some of the most basic churches were based on Roman basilicas. They started with a simple basilica plan making the churches simple and nondescript but moved on to adding transepts making the church represent a cross. They also began to make more elaborate interior layouts and towers.

Another popular form of the early church was centrally formed with a large dome. These were inspired more by the Roman mausoleums and baths as opposed to the the basic basilica meeting halls.
