Westminster Abbey is a stunning historic cathedral located in London, England. It was originally founded in the 960s or 970s by Saint Dunstan and King Edgar as Benedictine monks, and became the coronation site of 40 English and British monarchs and 18 royals since 1066. This awe-inspiring structure was constructed in 1245 on the orders of Henry III and features an exquisite Gothic architecture with Romanesque and Baroque influences. There are countless graves and memorials here, including Poets’ Corner, The Unknown Warrior, and the legendary Tombs of Kings. The Queen's Diamond Jubilee Galleries offer breathtaking views of the cathedral as well as its many works of art that have been preserved over the centuries. Westminster Abbey is not only a fantastic cultural attraction to visit, but also provides a rich history of royalty, grandeur, and religious importance.
