Church like St Peter's in the Vatican City (8)

I believe the answer is:

basilica

(Other definitions for basilica that I've seen before include "Roman building used for public administration" , "Important Roman Catholic church" , "Roman law court; church" , "Church or cathedral of high rank" , "Large (Roman Catholic) church" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
