Canterbury Cathedral is one of the most important religious and historical sites in the United Kingdom. Located in the city of Canterbury in Kent, it is the mother church of the worldwide Anglican Communion and the seat of the Archbishop of Canterbury. Together with St Augustine\u2019s Abbey and St Martin\u2019s Church, the cathedral has been a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1988.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fundada en 597 por san Agust\u00edn, la catedral fue reconstruida por los normandos en la d\u00e9cada de 1070 y ampliada en los siglos siguientes, lo que le dio una llamativa combinaci\u00f3n de arquitectura rom\u00e1nica y g\u00f3tica. Es c\u00e9lebre sobre todo por el asesinato del arzobispo Tom\u00e1s Becket en 1170, un hecho que convirti\u00f3 la catedral en uno de los principales destinos de peregrinaci\u00f3n de la Europa medieval.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Qu\u00e9 ver<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Los visitantes pueden recorrer el amplio interior: la alta nave de estilo perpendicular, el coro, la cripta normanda y el \u00abMartyrdom\u00bb, el lugar donde mataron a Becket. En la capilla de la Trinidad, una sola vela se\u00f1ala el sitio donde estuvo su relicario hasta que fue destruido en 1538. El edificio es famoso por sus vidrieras, de las m\u00e1s antiguas de Inglaterra, que muestran escenas b\u00edblicas y los milagros atribuidos a Becket. Los tranquilos claustros y jardines ofrecen un espacio m\u00e1s sosegado lejos de la iglesia principal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

La catedral acoge adem\u00e1s oficios diarios, conciertos y exposiciones, de modo que se vive a la vez como monumento hist\u00f3rico y como lugar de culto activo. Las audiogu\u00edas y las visitas guiadas permiten profundizar en su larga historia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
