The narthex is an architectural feature commonly found in Christian churches, serving as a vestibule or entrance area located at the west end of the nave. It typically acts as a transitional space between the outside world and the sacred interior of the church. Historically, the narthex was used for various purposes, including accommodating catechumens and penitents who were not yet allowed to enter the main worship area. In some churches, it may also contain elements like memorials or artworks.
