Yorkminster Church is the largest medieval church in Europe. It has a history of nearly 600 years. Yorker's most historic building has two crown-like towers on the West facade and a square tower 65 meters high in the center. The large-scale bright window glass in the church is gorgeous. The vivid stone statues on the outer walls of the chapel are more striking and arc. European churches with roofs all have their own characteristics. The basement of Minster preserves the ruins of the Roman era. There is also a sewer built by the Romans who are still in use today. It is reported that the sewer under the church foundation contributes to the preservation of Minster Cathedral intact and intact today. In 1984, Minster Cathedral was struck by lightning and unfortunately caught fire. As there was no water supply system in the cathedral, the water source for fire extinguishing became urgent. At this time, people unexpectedly found that there were many medieval sewers under the foundation around the church. It was these intact sewers left behind by the Roman era that preserved this unique Minster Cathedral. Along the spiral staircase inside the church, you can see the whole Yorkshire town. The ancient wall built in the 13th century is very close to the cathedral. It is free to climb the wall. There is also a stone street, which is the ancient commercial street of Yorkshire Town. It retains many unique buildings of the Middle Ages.

    Great church to visit! The largest church north of the European Alps, the Romans began to lay the foundation, the Anglo-Saxons, the Vikings were all adding bricks, and after William the Conqueror came, the peak of the Middle Ages, and the religious center of northern England, which was compared to Westminster Abbey. York Cathedral. When you walk in, you will see the west window and the flower windows on both sides. It is very beautiful. When you go in, you will see the whole east window. It is shocking! The content of the visit inside is rich, and it is also a good place to walk and rest. 👍 It is a worthwhile trip to leave enough time! The location is not far from the train station, and it is also close to another Yorkshire Museum and St Mary's Abbey Gardens worth visiting, all within walking distance. It's just that the wind in York in spring is relatively strong, and the road is a bit cold.

    York City is not big, the magnificent York Cathedral is even more spectacular, located in the city center, the surrounding meat shop market is not selected. The interior of the cathedral personally feels that the biblical stories on the vault and glass windows are worth seeing, and there are two underground exhibition halls.

    I got a 20 minutes window at the York station and decided to go for a walk. You could see the building far away even from the station and it was a quick walk. I remember getting stunned by the size of it. Although one side was still under construction, the other sides is in perfect condition and generally a gorgeous architecture. Manny locals like to sit and chill near it and the tourists like to take pictures of it.

    Buy tickets for adults on the spot for 16 pounds (l6x9= 144) per person. The Ctrip handling fee is too high. It is recommended to buy tickets on the spot and basically do not need to queue. The cathedral is a must to go, very shocking!
