Worcester, Cathedral city in West Midlands, England

Worcester extends along the eastern bank of the River Severn, featuring Georgian architecture, medieval buildings, and wide commercial streets throughout its central district.

The Battle of Worcester in 1651 marked the final clash of the English Civil War, where Cromwell's Parliamentary forces defeated King Charles II's Royalist army.

The Three Choirs Festival, established in the early 18th century, rotates between Worcester, Hereford, and Gloucester cathedrals, presenting classical and religious music.

The city center contains multiple shopping areas, including CrownGate Shopping Centre and Cathedral Square, connected by pedestrian-friendly streets and passages.

Worcester Cathedral houses King John's tomb, making it one of only two English cathedrals containing the remains of a medieval monarch.
