Other / city | | English term or phrase: cathedral city | | a type of city |
| | | see explanation | Explanation:
Varianta in romana este lunga. Poate fi ori oras al carui principal edificiu public este catedrala, oras a carei faima se datoreaza catredalei, oras care s-a dezvoltat in jurul catredalei.
A cathedral city (or town) is not merely a city or a town which has a cathedral, but one which has grown up around the cathedral, or which owes its fame to its cathedral as its principal public building, eg Canterbury, York, Ripon.
Birmingham, Manchester, Liverpool all have cathedrals, but we should NOT call them cathedral cities.

8 mins confidence:   peer agreement (net): +4 oras episcopal
Explanation:
Primarul orasului Radauti, Mihai Frunza, a fost unul dintre cei veniti sa spuna o rugaciune si aduca un pios omagiu celui plecat dintre noi. “Radauti, care a devenit oras episcopal datorita PS Gherasim, pierde o mare personalitate prin trecerea sa la cele vesnice. Ii vom pastra o vesnica amintire si vom respecta povetele celui mai mare rugator al Bucovinei”, a spus primarul Frunza.
Daca nu cumva este chiar numele orasului Cathedral City.

And yet, looking back through the pageant of time, it seems a little odd that Coventry has never been known as a Cathedral City.
An important city, a rich city a famous city with Royal connections, a flourishing city, by these names and many more such has Coventry been designated, and rightly so for Coventry can still boast of being all those things today.
.............But never a cathedral city.
And yet it all began with, grew, and is still growing, around a cathedral. http://www.coventry.historians.co.uk/cathedral.html
Historically, city status was associated with the presence of a cathedral, such as York Minster. http://www.answers.com/topic/city-status-in-the-united-kingd...
Varianta: \"sediu episcopal\" - vezi mai jos:
Oradea cunoaste ca oras si sediu episcopal catolic o perioada de inflorire. www.oradea-online.ro/oradea/2/istorie_cronologie5.htm
Caransebesul nu mai apare ca sediu episcopal de sine statator. ro.wikipedia.org/wiki/ Discuţie:Biserica_Ortodoxă_Română
importantul oras de la poalele Tampei nu este si sediu episcopal

Inutil (sau, poate, util...) sa precizez despre \'cathedral\' ca, in acest caz, este adjectiv si nu substantiv.
