a sanctuary
The sanctuary is the elevated space where the ceremonies are led from. The nave is the name of the space people gather in. If there is not archetectural differences, ie the sanctuary is not elevated, then the whole space could be called the sanctuary.

∙ 16y agoIn the Catholic Church, the primary ceremony of the Catholic Mass is celebrated in an open area known as the "sanctuary" with the altar as its focal point. The sanctuary is a place apart, traditionally separated from the rest of the Church by an altar railing, although this boundary is rarely found in modern churches. In modern churches, therefore, the demarcation of the sanctuary is either blurred or indistinguishable, though modern thought perceives this as a positive development as the people should be included in the 'sanctuary' to better participate in the liturgy.
