A cathedral is a Christian church that serves as the principal church of a diocese and is often the seat of a bishop, characterized by its grandeur and architectural significance. An abbey, on the other hand, is a complex of buildings that houses a community of monks or nuns and is typically centered around a church. While cathedrals are focused on the broader congregation and ecclesiastical authority, abbeys emphasize monastic life and communal worship.
