The sanctuary is the most important area because it is considered the holiest place. In the Old Testament no one but the priest was allowed to enter the holy place because that is were God was.

Roman Catholic AnswerAccording to the glossary at the end of the Catechism of the Catholic Church, a sanctuary is "the part of a church set apart for the principal rites of worship." In other words, the sanctuary, usually divided from the rest of the Church by a rail, or by being higher, is where the altar is, the presider's chair, the Tabernacle, etc.
