I really love St Grada Familia, such a unique cathedral!

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.

Wow… The outside looks like a Beksinski painting.

I got some weird reverse vertigo looking up from the inside when I was there, it was insanely high. Incredible place though.

Just, don’t play the organ while you’re there.

Is it not voiced for it? Last time I checked, they just had a small portable organ instead of a large installed one.
