For administrative purposes, local churches were grouped in dioceses, which were headed by bishops. A bishop's own church, where he presided at services, was the cathedral. The cathedral also had the central offices, and usually one or more monasteries, hospitals, schools, libraries, or other types of institutions associated with it. Cathedrals were built to be churches from which these functions could be provided.
During parts of the Middle Ages, the presence of a cathedral was the thing that distinguished a city from a town.

There was only one church where cathedrals were built and the church had great political power as well as spiritual power. Priests and communities gained prestige from building a cathedral. A large, beautiful cathedral attracted people to a community. They were analogous to the sports arenas cities build today.
