Gloucester Cathedral, Anglican cathedral in Gloucester, England
The cathedral features massive round Norman pillars leading to the central nave, with Gothic elements incorporated throughout the architectural design.
Construction of the current building began in 1089 after a fire destroyed the previous Saxon structure, with completion of the nave around 1121.
The cathedral houses forty Green Man carvings within its choir seats, representing ancient folklore connections between nature and religious symbolism.
Daily worship services take place in the cathedral, which also provides guided tours for visitors interested in exploring the architectural and historical elements.
The east window, completed between 1347 and 1350, stands as one of the largest medieval stained glass windows in England.
