Synagogues are buildings for congregational worship, and thus require a large central space (as do churches and mosques). They are generally designed with the Torah ark at one end, typically opposite the main entrance, and a bimah either in front of that, or more centrally placed. Raised galleries, usually for female worshipers, have been common.

Such churches are generally rectangular, but in African countries where circular dwellings are the norm, vernacular churches may be circular as well.
