Every bishop has a chair, called a cathedra, which was traditional symbol of his teaching and leadership role. The church where the bishops cathedra is located is called a cathedral, and is the 'mother-church' of the diocese which that bishop serves.
The pope is the bishop of Rome, so his chair - his cathedra - is located in the cathedral of the diocese of Rome, the Archbasilica of St. John Lateran. This was also the first church built in Rome.
