In a typical central plan church where is the altar located A- the atrium B- the narthex C- the apse?
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.

What is an entry to a church called?
.Catholic AnswerUnless you are looking at a Church with all of these features, it's a little hard to describe. The first thing would be the vestibule which is more like a porch, then there may be an atrium which is between the vestibule and the narthex. The atrium used to contain a fountain were people could wash their hands, this survives only in the holy water fonts at the entrance of a Church. Finally the narthex, which often contained the baptismal font. The narthex, which may survive as an entry hall, is the final part of the Church which is outside of the nave. When you go through the doors into the Church proper, you are in the nave where the people sit or stand for Mass.
