New Zealand suffered a 7.1 magnitude earthquake on September 4th 2010
There are dozens of Christchurch cathedral's all over the world, you would have to be more specific.
The date of the Christchurch Earthquake was September 4, 2010. The earthquake hit at 4:35am.
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.
