The steeper dome is dedicated

node

Isidore the Younger rebuilds the dome with a steeper profile, raising its crown by roughly six metres. A steeper dome directs more of its load downwards and less outwards, so the same piers can carry it. It is a correction made by reading a failure, and the rebuilt dome, repaired twice more in later centuries, is what stands today.

A node is not a place. Drawing it on a map would assert something about the world that no stored fact supports.
