Description
View of the interior of a basilica at Qalb Louzeh in Syria. "Here the nave is a vast room framed not by rows of columns but by broad, squat pillars strong enough to sustain wide, low slung arches; a double row of stone corbels, projecting from the wall above, supported the timbers of the roof. The south aisle, if not both aisles, was covered with stone slabs to form a gallery with clerestory windows affording a view into the nave,"--Early Christian Art and Architecture, by Robert Leslie Pollington Milburn.
