Where is the altar located in a central plan Church?
Divide the plan in 4 with a cross centered in the centre of the church. The entrance will be placed on a tip of this cross, and traditionally this point is the west. If we consider this the bottom of the church, the altar will be placed at the top, opposite the main entrance. The position of the altar is between the top wall and the exact centre of the church; normally the older the church, the furthest near the wall will the altar be but this rule is not an absolute rule as some ancient round churches have the altar exactly in the middle. Where possible or where early tradition was respected, a person entering the church will be looking east so the altar will also mark the east.
