The Basilica of Saint-Hubert in Belgium. A Roman Catholic basilica in the Middle Ages.
The Nuestra Señora del Pilar cathedral basilica is the largest baroque church in Spain and one of the most important temples in the country. Basilica of Nuestra Señora del Pilar was founded in the place of the first Christian history of the apparitions of Our Lady. It appeared on the pole, hence the name of Our Lady at the Column.
It is considered to be the first Marian shrine in the world because it has a column in it (Spanish el pilar), in which Mary, living in Jerusalem, appeared in the body, appearing in the body of the Apostle James on January 2, 40. The shrine center is a jasper column with a 15th-century figurine of Madonna and Child. Madonna del Pilar is a patron saint of the Spanish and her holiday on 12 October is the national holiday of Spain.
At first there was only a small chapel. The present form was obtained by extension in the years 1681-1754.

Bazylika katedralna Nuestra Señora del Pilar (Matki Bożej na Kolumnie) jest największą świątynią barokową w Hiszpanii i jedną z najważniejszych świątyń w tym kraju. Bazylika Nuestra Señora del Pilar powstała w miejscu pierwszych w historii chrześcijaństwa objawień Matki Bożej. Objawiła się ona na słupie, stąd nazwa Matka Boża na Kolumnie.
Jest uważana za pierwszą na świecie świątynię maryjną, ponieważ zachowuje się w niej kolumnę (hiszp. el pilar), na której według tradycji Maryja - żyjąc jeszcze w Jerozolimie - objawiła się w ciele apostołowi Jakubowi 2 stycznia 40 roku. Ośrodkiem sanktuarium jest jaspisowa kolumna z XV-wieczną figurką Madonny z Dzieciątkiem. Madonna del Pilar jest patronką Świata Hiszpańskiego (hiszp. Hispanidad), a jej święto w dniu 12 października jest świętem narodowym Hiszpanii.
Początkowo znajdowała się tu tylko mała kaplica. Obecną formę uzyskała dzięki rozbudowie w latach 1681-1754.
The Oudenbosch Basilica is a Roman Catholic basilica in the Dutch village of Oudenbosch. The basilica is named after Agatha of Sicily and Barbara of Nicomedia, two Christian martyrs from the third century. It was built at the initiative of Willem Hellemons who was parish priest between 1842 and 1884. Its nave and interior were modeled after St. Peter's Basilica, while the facade is a replica of the Basilica of St. John Lateran, both located in Rome. The basilica was designed by architect Pierre Cuypers. Construction began in 1865 but was not fully completed until 1892. The basilica is unique in the region in that it is relatively large with a classical Italian appearance that is atypical for most of northern Europe, let alone a small town in North Brabant.
Dutch Papal Zouaves and local Catholics gathered in Oudenbosch and left for Rome in 1868 to defend the Papal State against Giuseppe Garibaldi's Italian nationalist army. Therefore Pope Pius IX agreed to build a relatively big basilica in a small place.[citation needed] Originally a church, it was designated a minor basilica in 1912. A piece of the cloak Pope John Paul II wore during the 1981 assassination attempt is kept there as a relic.
Elements inspired by their counterparts in Rome include Michelangelo's Pietà, Bernini's baldachin, the Chair of Saint Peter, and Bernini's Gloria.
Start by doing what is necessary, then what is possible and suddenly you will be surprised to do the impossible.

Art is everywhere - in the columns, the ceiling and the friezes of Ravenna's 6th Century AD Basilica di Sant Apollinare Nuovo. The mosaics are also superb.

In Dyersville, Iowa, the Basilica (from the Greek meaning "Royal House") features Gothic Revival architecture. The two steeples are 212 feet (65 m) tall with 14 feet (4.3 m) crosses that cap the spires. This helps make the church visible from miles away across the rolling farmland. Pilots often use these steeples as landmarks during flights. The interior of the church is decorated with a number of paintings and frescoes, and 64 large cathedral glass windows. We grew up near here.

The Cathedral Basilica of Assumption Blessed Virgin Mary in Włocławek is a Gothic building.
The first brick cathedral in Włocławek was in a different place, it was burnt by the Teutonic Knights in 1329.
The current cathedral was built from 1340 and continued until the 15th century, until 1526, when the northern tower was completed. It is a three-nave temple with a narrower and much lower presbytery. Particularly noteworthy are: stained glass windows from 1360, a wooden statue of the Mother of God from the beginning of the 15th century and a painting of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary.
The interior is decorated with polychrome, made in the years 1900-1901.

Bazylika katedralna Wniebowzięcia NMP we Włocławku jest budowlą gotycką.
Pierwsza murowana katedra włocławska znajdowała się w innym miejscu, została spalona przez Krzyżaków w 1329 roku.
Obecna katedra była budowana od 1340 i kontynuowana jeszcze w ciągu XV wieku, do 1526, kiedy ukończono wieżę północną. Jest to świątynia trzynawowa z węższym i znacznie niższym prezbiterium. Na szczególną uwagę zasługują: witraże z 1360 roku, drewniana figura Matki Bożej z początku XV wieku oraz obraz Wniebowzięcia NMP.
Wnętrze ozdobione jest polichromią, wykonaną w latach 1900–1901.
