Assessor comments
"A magnificent architectural and cultural symbol of hope, reconciliation and artistic prowess, both ancient and modern."
Overview
Coventry Cathedral is a place where splendid medieval history meets modern architecture to stunning and poignant effect. Come and explore the ruined cathedral, destroyed in WW2, standing proudly alongside the magnificent ‘new’ cathedral, which features works by some of the greatest artists of the 1950s and 60s. Highlights of a visit include the many definitive artworks, stunning architectural vistas, the exhibition in St Michael's Hall, and the memorable views from the top of St Michael's Tower. This is all enhanced by the excellent knowledge of the tour guide and the opportunity to watch the bells ring from the viewing platform above.
