Trivia[]
- The pre-Industrial Age Basilica model is based on the Florence Cathedral. The post-Fortress Age model is based on the St. Peter's Basilica mixed with the Pisa Cathedral and the addition of the Leaning Tower of Pisa.
History[]
| “ | Basilicas have their origin in Roman antiquity, where they served as public buildings. However, with the rise of Christianity, they became gradually repurposed as religious structures. By the early modern period, a basilica was a grand, lavish building with a primarily religious function, such as St. Peter's Basilica in the Vatican of Rome. Basilicas are denoted by the umbraculum, a papal symbol, and enjoy additional privileges and ceremonial status compared to churches. | ” |
