Holy Bible gives the narration of the first church built by Solomon, to the finest detail

“…During the fourth year of his reign Solomon began work
On the temple. The Stones were carefully
Cut at the quarry. The inside walls were covered with
cedarwood from to the ceiling…
The floor was made of pine wood….
All the inside walls of the inner room where the
Convenent Box was placed,
was covered with gold…”
“ At last, Solomon completed the temple exactly as it had been planned….”.

Church Architecture has evolved over the two thousand years of Christian Religion. The evolution was partly by innovation and partly by imitation/adaptation of various Architectural Styles, as well as responding to the beliefs, practices and local traditions.
