En pleno corazon de Zaragoza, en la Plaza del Pilar se ubica la Catedral - BasÃlica de Nuestra Señora del Pilar o Santo Templo Metropolitano de Nuestra Señora del Pilar, y que es una de las dos Seos o Catedrales Netropolitanas de la Archidiócesis de Zaragoza, junto con la Seo del Salvador, que tambien se encuentra en la misma Plaza.
Esta basilica es un templo barroco dedicado a Nuestra Señora del Pilar, y según la tradición, se trata del primer templo mariano de la Cristiandad, puesto que en él se conserva y venera el pilar que fue puesto por la Virgen MarÃa quien, viviendo aún en Jerusalén, se habrÃa aparecido en carne mortal al apóstol Santiago el 2 de enero del año 40.
En la actualidad posee once cúpulas techadas con tejas vidriadas de colores verdes, amarillos, azules y blancos, con una central, en la confluencia entre la nave y el tramo central, dos más pequeñas situadas a ambos lados, y cuatro menores rodeando en los ángulos a las dos cúpulas medianas.

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.
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.

About an hour from Fez lies the Roman ruins of Volubilis. Volubilis originated in the 3rd Century BC and was one of the more remote outposts of the Roman Empire. It is estimated that it once housed up to 20,000 people. The Romans are said to have abandoned the city around 280 AD as the Roman Empire began to decline and Berber tribes began to move back into the area.
The heart of the city consists of a forum with adjoining temples, a basilica, a capitol complex dedicated to Jupiter, and several baths (thermes). This shots looks along the arches of the Basilica romana and facing what was once the Forum.
The frieze of the dome of St. Peter's Basilica in Rome is, in 2-meter high black-blue letters on a gold background, the text from Mat. 16:18-19: to read:
‘Tu es Petrus, et super hanc petram aedificabo Ecclesiam meam et tibi dabo claves regni Caelorum’
(‘You are Peter; on that rock I will build my church [….] and I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven’). St. Peter's was built on the spot where, according to tradition, the apostle Peter, the ‘first pope’, was crucified and buried.

The interior splendour of the Notre-Dame Basilica, Montreal, Canada. Constructed between 1824 and 1879 the basilica's gothic revival architecture is among the most dramatic in the world. The stained glass windows along the walls of the sanctuary do not depict biblical scenes, but rather scenes from the religious history of Montreal. The basilica was constructed on the site of the original parish church of Notre-Dame which was built in 1672.

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.
