It takes place in the main hall of the Canterbury Cathedral. Though during different dates.
St. Peter's Basilica was constructed between 1506 and 1626. Though further work was done to the edifice after that period. Even at that, however, the basic Basilica being constructed in 120 years qualifies as "breakneck speed" in the realm of Medieval cathedral building - 300 years was much more typical.
There only is one: St. Paul's. That's the one. (Westminster Abbey is not a Cathedral: Westminster Cathedral is not in the City of London, nor is Southwark Cathedral, though both of the latter are in Greater London.)
Dunblane is a town in Scotland and even though it has a cathedral it is not a city.
I dont know. Its a very neat church though,
Though it was estimated that around 21 people were actually in the cathedral at the time, no one was injured when the cathedral collapsed.
Liverpool has two cathedrals - the Anglican cathedral and the Roman Catholic Cathedral. Because of its shape, and because of a large Catholic Irish immigrant population in Liverpool, the Roman Catholic cathedral is affectionately known by the locals as 'Paddy's Wigwam', although its official title is the 'Metropolitan Cathedral of Liverpool'. The mammoth Anglican cathedral is by far the larest cathedral in the UK, and the largest Anglican church worldwide, even though the present cathedral is a fraction of its originally intended size. Neither cathedral is dedicated to a saint solely; The Roman Catholic cathedral is dedicated to Christ the King, and the Anglican Cathderal is dedicated to Christ and the Blessed Virgin Mary. It is very apt that the cathedrals are at both ends of the same street - the very appropriately named Hope Street.
A surprising fact is that there is actually no official Catholic cathedral in Dublin, though there are two cathedrals in the city. Christ Church Cathedral is the city cathedral and St. Patrick's Cathedral is the national-level cathedral. However, both are Protestant cathedrals. This originates from the changes that happened when Henry VIII was ruling Ireland and when he broke with Rome and established the Church of England. What Dublin does have is what is known as St. Mary's pro-Cathedral, which is Catholic. However, it does not have full cathedral status within the Catholic Church, which is why it's termed a pro-cathedral. St. Mary's is the "pro" (provisional) Catholic cathedral because Christ Church (founded as a Catholic church in 1030 AD and subsequently accorded cathedral status prior to its being taken over as a Protestant house of worship during the Reformation) has never been returned to the Catholic Church by the Church of Ireland (a member of the worldwide Anglican communion ).
Because he was getting paid. The statue was commissioned for the Florence Cathedral, though it was never actually placed there.
In older times, a city required a certain population (20 000?) OR the possession of a Cathedral. The Christchurch Cathedral was started (I think) in 1879. [Earthquake damaged in in construction 1879, and again in 1881, 1888, 1901, and the recent series.] Nelson City was another that gained city status because of it having a Cathedral, even though it had a low population.
