Basilica, technically. As I understand it you can only have one cathedral per city, for some bureaucratic and / or religious reason, and Barcelona already had one. 🤷♂️
I think it’s for balancing purposes. It would be too OP if Spain could build as many cathedrals as they wanted in a city and stack culture bonuses.
Hmm, interesting, I thought a basilica was an additional designation for a cathedral, I didn’t know they could be stand alone. But I think you can only have one cathedral per bishop?
Ah, that might indeed be it, cathedral = the seat (of a bishop), and it’s bishops you can’t have too many of in the same place, lest you get a schism.
