The Basilika is the largest surviving single-room structure from Roman Times in the world. Oddly, while it is a church today, it was not a church before. It was the throne room of Emperor Constantine. It is 90 ft wide, 220 feet long, and 108 feet tall. The squares on the ceiling are 10X10 feet each. It's really big. So it used to just be filled with a big throne in the frong, busts of roman emperors etc in the niches, and everyone would come honor the emperor and ask for favors etc.
