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

<P0-S0> Church building in Norway began when Christianity was established there around the year 1000. <P0-S1>  The first buildings may have been post churches erected in the 10th or 11th century, but evidence is inconclusive. <P0-S2>  For instance under Urnes stave church and Lom Stave Church there are traces of older post churches. <P0-S3>  Post churches were later replaced by the more durable stave churches. <P0-S4>  About 1,300 churches were built during the 12th and 13th centuries in what was Norway's first building boom. <P0-S5>  A total of about 3,000 churches have been built in Norway, although nearly half of them have perished. <P0-S6>  From 1620 systematic records and accounts were kept although sources prior to 1620 are fragmented. <P0-S7>  Evidence about early and medieval churches is partly archaeological. <P0-S8>  The "long church" is the most common type of church in Norway. <P0-S9>  There are about 1620 buildings recognized as churches affiliated with the Church of Norway. <P0-S10>  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. <P0-S11>  Until the 20th century most churches were built from wood. <P0-S12>  220 buildings are protected by law, and an additional 765 are listed as valuable cultural heritage. <SEP> <P1-S0> The Church of Transfiguration in Ramallah was inaugurated in 1852. <P1-S1>  The Basilica is of Byzantine style. <P1-S2>  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> <P2-S0> 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. <P2-S1>  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. <P2-S2>  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> <P3-S0> St. Anthony's Catholic Church is a parish in the Diocese of Davenport. <P3-S1>  The parish complex is located in downtown Davenport, Iowa, United States, at the corner of Fourth and Main Streets. <P3-S2>  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. <P3-S3>  The parish buildings are listed on the National Register of Historic Places as St. Anthony's Roman Catholic Church Complex. <P3-S4>  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. <P3-S5>  The designation also included the rectory, which was torn down in 2009. <P3-S6>  It is also listed on the Davenport Register of Historic Properties in 1992 as St. Anthony's Church Square. <P3-S7>  The property has been known historically as Church Square.
