The church was built on a traditional cruciform plan, so if you walk up the nave of the church you will come to the point where where the two arms of the cross (transepts) meet.  The south transept is very imposing at over 70 feet high.

In the second photo to the left of the photograph you can also see a portion of the north transept in the foreground.
