,有英国最大的修道院圣奥古斯汀修道院,有遗存于罗马时期建造的圣马丁教堂,这三个建筑于1988年一起被列入世界文化遗产名录,加上附近的一些教堂构成了坎特伯雷著名的宗教建筑群。还有出名的就要数被称为英文文学之父的英国著名诗人乔叟(Geoffrey Chaucer)所著的经典的《坎特伯雷故事集》,写的就是一群香客从伦敦去坎特伯雷朝圣路上的故事。

坎特伯雷是伦敦东边肯特郡内的一个以宗教建筑群出名的小城,这里有1500年历史的坎特伯雷大教堂,有英国最大的修道院圣奥古斯汀修道院,有遗存于罗马时期建造的圣马丁教堂,这三个建筑于1988年一起被列入世界文化遗产名录,加上附近的一些教堂构成了坎特伯雷著名的宗教建筑群。可惜我去时,大教堂在维修,脚手架挡住了教堂的大部分,这是大教堂的大门口,也是精美绝伦。

Info

Canterbury monastery is often missed by tourists outside the east wall of Canterbury, but it is the largest monastery in England with a long history. It was founded by Augustine when he came to England. It has a large scale, including three churches. After continuous expansion and renovation after the fire, it has the largest area in the 16th century. Even the library has a considerable collection of books at that time. However, Henry VIII failed to survive in the religious reform. Most of them were demolished in 1538 and began to be excavated and protected in 1844. It is considered as the most important Saxon relics in England.

从坎特伯雷大教堂出来,顺着小路沿路而上,风景很好,天气也很好,初秋的黄叶,配上蓝天白云,非常舒服,令人能够忘记腿疼的想死。路上很容易错过一个景点,就是圣奥古斯汀修道院,这里其实是个废墟,但是被保护了起来,做成了一个简易的博物馆,在门廊中的电视上能够看到这里的能够看到这里的变迁。

在游客心中,坎特伯雷应该也是英国比较有名的小镇吧!同时,坎特伯雷大教堂、最大的修道院圣奥古斯汀修道院,有遗存于罗马时期建造的圣马丁教堂,这三个建筑于1988年一起被列入世界文化遗产名录。我们正好遇到了,大教堂修缮,在外面欣赏了一下大教堂的雄伟!

St. Augustine abbey is part of Canterbury's World Heritage site and the first ruins I have ever seen in England. British church manor and castle ruins belong to English heritage. The package ticket is 30 pounds. It takes more than three tickets in a certain period of time to be worth the ticket price. Even now, I bought the tickets alone. After the Romans left England was the time of the Saxon kings. Among the ruins are the tomb of the famous King Alfred, as well as the tombs of other unnamed kings of Saxon Kent. The fourth queen of Henry VIII, Anne of cleave from Germany, stayed here when she arrived in England. She also made a temporary palace during the period when Henry VIII abolished the monastery, but it was finally abandoned. I don't like the gloom in the Gothic church. The chapels that were supposed to be dark look more comfortable and beautiful without the dome and exposed to the sun. The dining and activity areas of the priests are indistinct, and the hidden forest road at the end is also beautiful. The introduction of this place is very clear in the museum beside the ruins, and even there is a small VR for people to experience. I think it's better to look at the ruins than the original.

As a part of the world cultural heritage, this is the place where the punch in person must go. But as an ordinary tourist, it doesn't make much sense to go here. Today, only the early church remains are left here. There are too few parts to watch. More importantly, the tickets are too expensive

On the northeast side of the wall of biray, Kent, it's easy to miss if you don't follow the map. It is a world heritage site and the largest Abbey in England. It is said that King Kent at that time married a Christian wife, so Christianity was popularized here in the context of sectarian strife at that time. There are also some sarcophagus tombs of dignitaries. The free museum is also worth visiting.
