The three plants are the basilica space itself, and are separated by two trussed arches extrados of three planes at the same height, and roofs covered by armor, these ships do not present the scaling characteristic of the Roman and early Christian basilicas, which allow high side lighting. The two extreme rooms, separated by one or three gates, are the same height, inspired, no doubt, in ships mosque.

This tripartite door module, of Byzantine origin, is characteristic of the Hispano-Umayyad architecture.
