Durham Cathedral

Durham Cathedral is a Church of England cathedral located on a rocky peninsula above the River Wear in the city of Durham, north-east England. It was built between 1093 and 1133 as part of a joint construction project with Durham Castle, and is widely considered one of the finest examples of Romanesque architecture in Europe. The cathedral is the seat of the Bishop of Durham and houses the tombs of Saint Cuthbert and the Venerable Bede. Together with Durham Castle, it forms a UNESCO World Heritage Site and is one of the most visited cathedrals in England.
