Yes. Churches and cathedrals were the main building in medieval towns and cities. The market square was usually built around them. Even today in cities and towns that existed in the medieval period you can see the basic layout of the city and streets from that time.

The single distinguishing (as opposed to dominant) feature of a medieval town was the presence of a permanent market. A town could have more than one church, and when it did, it was sometimes the case that neither was really dominant. A village, by contrast, was usually dominated by its church, since it could have neither a permanent market nor a second church. A city was the site of a cathedral, and was usually dominated by it.
