Church, com. Dogs, County. The Veil. The Church, in architectural sense, is an building built and arranged for the practice of religious activities, especially for offering services of confessional character. In this sense - of place of worship - the term is most commonly used by Christians to refer to their religious practice buildings. In traditional Christian architecture, most churches have plans shaped like a Christian cross. The facade, the narrow side of the buildings, includes the main entrance. In the picture is presented a church where the entrance and one of the side facades are visible. The church in the picture is built on stone foundation and brick masonry, alternating with the plastered and shed one. In the plan, the construction, alongside the three spaces - narthex, nave and altar - has two bell towers with its own roofs. The walls of the towers have, along the entire length of the walls, four respectively six narrow windows. The church has three apses: two on either side of the nave and one at the altar. The roof is fragmented - the apses and the peat have separate roofs: the serpent, in four waters, has shingle covers with slightly flared foothills. Metal crosses are placed at the water joint. The architectural decor, made by stucature, is made up of stepped arches at the windows, stucature girdles above the foundation and above the windows, blind firides, and above the small dungeons. The entrance is made directly in the narthex. The crumb in which the ram icon is located is above the entrance and ends by triple springs.
