Portsmouth Cathedral is a striking building in the heart of the city. The church was founded as a chapel in 1180 and became a parish in 1320. The building was badly-damaged during the Civil War and was repaired significantly between 1683-93. It became a cathedral in 1927 and is now Grade I-listed. These days, the medieval building is all but hidden within the relatively modern walls. However, there is still much history and beauty to observe.
