List of basilicas in Spain and Portugal
A basilica minor is an honorary title that the Pope bestows on a major Catholic Church regardless of its architectural style. The elevation to the basilica is intended to emphasize the importance for the region and strengthen the connection to the Bishop of Rome ( Pope ). For this purpose, the current papal coat of arms is attached to the basilica, usually above the portal. Currently around 1,800 churches bear the title of Basilica minor, a third of which are in Italy .
