(The nave is the long central section.) In the case of the former convento at Teposcolula, directional references align with those of the Teposcolula church. Actual orientations may differ. The "transept" is the part of the building that crosses the nave so that the whole building has the shape of a cross. The photo shown here is licensed under the
