Westminster Abbey is more than just a religious building to worship every day. Its background, beauty and history withhold enriching stories and highlight events that mesmerise everyone who visits it. It's a UNESCO World Heritage Site and is considered one of the most important treasures of British culture and identity!
It was founded back in 960 AD by the Benedictine Monks, but it wasn't until 1245 that the church was built by Henry III. It has been the main place for coronations since 1066, crowning 40 monarchs through time, and having 17 monarchs resting in peace within its grounds. Westminster Abbey is also an essential piece within Royal Weddings. Sixteen Royal Weddings have taken place in this breathtaking building, meaning we couldn't talk about British Royalty and history without mentioning it.
Having a day through its Gothic walls and medieval architecture is everything you need to immerse yourself in the British DNA and history. Westminster Abbey is still relevant to worship and tribute religion, but you can also find other interesting areas to explore, such as the library, with an extensive collection of manuscripts, books, photographs and remarkable material, not to mention all the events in which you can involve, such as The Field of Remembrance, Christmas Concerts, Flag Days, Bell Ringing Days and more.
