Talk:List of highest church naves

[Untitled]

starting up.... Hope to get a lot of opinions and contributions from cathedral fans world wide :)

Great that more people are adding to this page! Thanks! This list is intended for all churches not only cathedrals... this may need to be stated at the top so you can remove all notes about non cathedrals (?) /stoffe123

I solved it by changing the heading to cathedral/church /stoffe123 —Preceding unsigned comment added by Stoffe123 (talk • contribs) 16:52, August 26, 2007 (UTC)

European cathedrals

I'm rather curious as to why some of those magnificent cathedrals have folding chairs for the congregation and not pews. Musicwriter (talk) 14:46, 1 January 2008 (UTC)

The cathedral of Seville is listed twice. Once with 42m and once with 40m (with citation). The 42m height is mentioned on its own page: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seville_Cathedral. This should be cleared up, or merged together as St Peter's cathedral. Weetya (talk) 20:50, 9 April 2013 (UTC)

Basilica of Our Lady of Licheń?

I've never visited it so I don't know but according to the Basilica of Our Lady of Licheń article that church has a nave height of 98 metres! Now if that is correct this church would well boot the current record holder Beauvais Cathedral with a nave height of 43 metres (under half the height!) into second place.Is this a typing error or what. --Ormie2 (talk) 21:04, 8 January 2011 (UTC)

>> I think that height is just under the dome and on this site we measure the nave height. The nave height seems more modest on lady of lichen but could very well fit on the list.

sources?

someone should look for sources..heights of some churches seem to be overstated. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 78.12.214.220 (talk) 14:53, 13 August 2013 (UTC)

St. Mary Cathedral, San Francisco, and Metropolitan Cathedral, Rio de Janeiro

It seems to me that both these cathedrals have higher naves than Beauvais. St. Mary's is listed at 190 feet. Why aren't they listed here? InFairness (talk) 05:16, 8 November 2013 (UTC)

Definition?

How is the height of the nave defined? The very highest point from the floor to the ceiling? For instance the Church of Santa Engrácia measures about 80 meters from the floor of the nave to the highest point of the dome interior. There must surely be many more churches about taller than 50 meters interior. --62.48.249.28 (talk) 23:49, 17 May 2014 (UTC)

>>> The nave should be a continuous space with the same height like in the old basilica-planned churches. Height under a dome is not considered here that would be a different list then. If it is a central-shaped-church. (Like some modern churches) they could be said to not have a nave at all.

Some churches should not be presented in this list

There are at least 3 churches which should not persist in this list. In the church of Hagia Sophia and in the church of Saint Sava there is not nave at all. Their plans and constructions are diffrent, different type of architecture. They have central plan and they have no nave at all. The nave of church of Alexander Nevsky (in Sofia) is presented with the exterior height of its nave and this is not correct at all, since the article presents the interior height of the naves and all other naves in the list are presented with their interior height. So, I will edit the article. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Puldin (talk • contribs) 23:14, 24 June 2020 (UTC)
