Summary/Abstract: The article examines the emergence of the type of the aisleless church as a variation of the aula ecclesiae (an intermediate step in the development of the church architecture between domus ecclesiae and the basilica). It argues for the continuing existence of the type of aula ecclesiae even today. An attempt is made to define and distinguish the aisleless church from the later types - the Constantine’s basilica and its derivative forms, including the cross-in-square church. The article follows the development of the aisleless church and other variations of the aula ecclesiae within the Bulgarian Kingdom and the Bulgarian territory during the period between the 9th century and the Second World War. The text also examines the influence of later church types on the aisleless church phenomenon.
