Question: Although has become less dominant in new buildings, what type of church building is The Church of Transfiguration in Ramallah?

St. Anthony's Catholic Church is a parish in the Diocese of Davenport.  The parish complex is located in downtown Davenport, Iowa, United States, at the corner of Fourth and Main Streets.  It is the first church congregation organized in the city of Davenport and the second, after St. Raphael's Cathedral in Dubuque, Catholic congregation in the state of Iowa.  The parish buildings are listed on the National Register of Historic Places as St. Anthony's Roman Catholic Church Complex.  The designation includes the church and the former school building, which is the parish's original church building and is the oldest standing church building in the state of Iowa.  The designation also included the rectory, which was torn down in 2009.  It is also listed on the Davenport Register of Historic Properties in 1992 as St. Anthony's Church Square.  The property has been known historically as Church Square. <SEP> The Church of Transfiguration in Ramallah was inaugurated in 1852.  The Basilica is of Byzantine style.  The church contains sacred utensils and old Icons, some of which date back to 1830 and were transferred to the church after the destruction of small churches in Ramallah as a result of persecution and several wars. <SEP> A basilica is a type of building, usually a Christian church, that is typically rectangular with a central nave and aisles, usually with a slightly raised platform and an apse at one or both ends.  In Europe and the Americas it is the most common architectural style for churches though this building plan has become less dominant in new buildings since the later 20th century.  Today the term "basilica" is often used to refer to any large, ornate church building, especially Roman Catholic and Eastern Orthodox, even if it does not strictly follow this style. <SEP> Church building in Norway began when Christianity was established there around the year 1000.  The first buildings may have been post churches erected in the 10th or 11th century, but evidence is inconclusive.  For instance under Urnes stave church and Lom Stave Church there are traces of older post churches.  Post churches were later replaced by the more durable stave churches.  About 1,300 churches were built during the 12th and 13th centuries in what was Norway's first building boom.  A total of about 3,000 churches have been built in Norway, although nearly half of them have perished.  From 1620 systematic records and accounts were kept although sources prior to 1620 are fragmented.  Evidence about early and medieval churches is partly archaeological.  The "long church" is the most common type of church in Norway.  There are about 1620 buildings recognized as churches affiliated with the Church of Norway.  In addition there is a number gospel halls belonging to the lay movement affiliated with the Church of Norway (not regarded as church buildings) as well as churches belonging to other Christian bodies.  Until the 20th century most churches were built from wood.  220 buildings are protected by law, and an additional 765 are listed as valuable cultural heritage.
