Canterbury Cathedral, located in Kent, England, is one of the oldest Christian structures in the country and serves as the cathedral of the Archbishop of Canterbury. Originally founded in 597, the cathedral underwent significant rebuilding in the 11th and 12th centuries, following a fire and to accommodate pilgrims visiting the shrine of Thomas Becket. With its impressive Gothic architecture and rich history, Canterbury Cathedral remains a significant landmark and spiritual center for the Church of England and the Anglican Communion.
