A transept (with two semitransepts) is a transverse part of any building, which lies across the main body of the building.[1] In cruciform ("cross-shaped") churches, in particular within the Romanesque and Gothic Christian church architectural traditions, a transept is an area set crosswise to the nave. Each half of a transept is known as a semitransept.[1]
