Cella
In Classical architecture, a cella (from Latin 'small chamber') or naos (from Ancient Greek ναός (naós) 'temple') is the inner chamber of an ancient Greek or Roman temple. Its enclosure within walls has given rise to extended meanings, of a hermit's or monk's cell, and since the 17th century, of a biological cell in plants or animals.
