Basilicas are so called because of their style of architecture, a style which was used in the Greco-Roman world for public meeting halls and courts before Christianity.

A basilica, traditionally, was a church built by a king (from the Greek word basileus). Now I think it refers to a church built from donations (whether or not the donor was a king).Chakahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14405341165307564619noreply@blogger.com
