Canterbury Cathedral is the most famous Christian structure in England. Founded in 597, the cathedral was rebuilt between 1070 and 1077 and then largely rebuilt again in the Gothic style following a fire in 1174. The cathedral is both a holy place and part of a World Heritage Site and is the most popular tourist attraction in the city. For opening times and more information, visit: canterbury-cathedral.org.

After the founding of the Anglican Church by Henry VIII, the Archbishop of Canterbury as Primate of all England is the spiritual leader. He also crowns the English kings. Since construction, the cathedral has also been a major pilgrimage site.

Quite a must-see on any trip to south-east England. The building is simply impressive and worth the entrance fee. Make sure to pick your time wisely not to find it overcrowded.
