It has been suggested that the church on Sir Bani Yas island, dated to the seventh–eighth century, originally had a tower rising over its south-eastern room. This would be a unique feature as other hitherto known churches in the Gulf dated to the early Islamic period did not have towers. One of the arguments for the existence of the tower has been the increased thickness of the northern wall of the south-eastern room. However, close examination of the remains reveals that the increased thickness of this wall is in fact related to the rectangular apse of the chancel. Other arguments used previously to support the claim that the church had a tower are critically assessed in this paper, which concludes that the Sir Bani Yas church had no tower and that its chancel had a rectangular apse, yet another architectural feature it shares with other early Islamic Gulf churches.

In late November and early December 2012, emergency archaeological and architectural research was carried out in the Parish Church of the Holy Apostles in Rąbiń, Kościan county. The relics of a stone Romanesque church were studied thoroughly; it is a clear-span building with a deep apse/chancel dating back to the first half of the 13th century. The subsequent phases of the church’s renovation from the 13th century until today have also been identified.
