Manchester Cathedral

Manchester Cathedral
Great britain, Manchester
Manchester Cathedral - the seat of the Bishop of Manchester, one of the oldest buildings in the city, dating back to 1422. The cathedral was built in parts for more than a hundred years, until 1520, then repeatedly rebuilt or restored. The building of the cathedral has a special architectural and historical status.
Of the most ancient parts of the cathedral, buttresses of the 14th century supporting the tower and carved choirs of the 16th century have been preserved. The original Victorian stained glass windows were destroyed during the Second World War and replaced by modern stained glass windows. Under the ceiling of the main nave are 14 carved figures of angels with medieval musical instruments covered with gold. There are 10 bells in the tower of the cathedral, cast in 1925. The cathedral contains thirty footrests made in the 16th century.
The cathedral has a tourist center that organizes tours of the cathedral on weekends.
