In general, Byzantine churches are apsidal--the eastern end of the church terminates in a half dome appended to the nave, with the altar installed therein. The iconostasis covers the opening between the nave and the apse, and does not extend into the nave. - http://www.byzcath.org/forums/ubbthreads.php/topics/322792/2

-------------

There was a structure called a templon that was used from pre-Chalcedonian times to demarcate the altar. This was an arcade, a line of columns supporting an architrave, with an gap in the center. Icons were displayed atop it or hung from the columns. The iconostasis developed into its modern form when the opening was shut with doors, and the icons moved to fill in the gaps between the columns - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Iconostasis
