Coventry, Metropolitan district in West Midlands, England.
Coventry stands along the River Sherbourne with its medieval buildings, modern structures, and two cathedrals representing different architectural periods.
The settlement obtained city status in 1345 and developed into a major trading center, becoming one of England's leading cities by the 15th century.
The new Coventry Cathedral, built in 1962 next to the remains of the original structure, represents post-war reconstruction and functions as a center for reconciliation.
The city maintains two universities, Coventry University and the University of Warwick, offering extensive educational opportunities and research facilities.
During World War II, Coventry endured severe bombing on November 14, 1940, leading to the creation of the term 'Coventrated' to describe complete urban destruction.
