Glasgow Cathedral, Medieval cathedral in Glasgow, United Kingdom
The cathedral features pointed arches, ribbed vaults, and stone walls that extend 32 meters high to create a central nave beneath a timber roof.
Construction of the cathedral began in 1136 under David I of Scotland and continued for more than three centuries until its completion in the late 1400s.
The cathedral holds regular Sunday services at 11 AM with a professional choir performing traditional Scottish and religious musical compositions.
Visitors can access the cathedral daily, with shorter hours from October to March and a lunch closure between 12:30 PM and 1:30 PM.
The lower church contains the tomb of Saint Mungo, the patron saint of Glasgow, in a vaulted chamber that dates from the 13th century.
