Coventry Cathedral, Anglican cathedral in Coventry, England
The cathedral complex includes both a modern building constructed in 1962 and the preserved ruins of the 14th-century Gothic structure standing side by side.
The original St Michael's Cathedral suffered extensive damage during the Luftwaffe bombing raid on November 14, 1940, leaving only its tower and spire intact.
The cathedral hosts regular performances of Benjamin Britten's War Requiem, which was specifically composed for the building's consecration in 1962.
Visitors can access the cathedral Monday through Saturday from 10:00 AM to 4:00 PM and Sundays from 12:00 PM to 3:30 PM with guided tours available.
The 195 stained glass windows in the baptistry, designed by John Piper, create intricate patterns when sunlight passes through them.
