In the game's words

How to use it

The Basilica is a unique Italian building available starting in the Commerce Age. Basilicas have positive impacts on assets in their vicinity: nearby Settlers and Architects work faster, while buildings constructed near a Basilica grant additional Experience when completed. Basilicas train Priests, Spies, and Papal Guards, as well as several unique Italian units that represent ‘naturalized’ versions of mercenaries hailing from the region.

History

Basilicas have their origin in Roman antiquity, where they served as public buildings. However, with the rise of Christianity, they became gradually repurposed as religious structures. By the early modern period, a basilica was a grand, lavish building with a primarily religious function, such as St. Peter’s Basilica in the Vatican of Rome. Basilicas are denoted by the umbraculum, a papal symbol, and enjoy additional privileges and ceremonial status compared to churches.
