A
Day
in
Canterbury Canterbury
is
a
charming
city
located
in
the
southeast
of
England.
It
is
one
of
the
most
popular
tourist
destinations
in
the
country,
thanks
to
its
rich
history
and
beautiful
architecture. My
day
in
Canterbury
started
with
a
visit
to
the
famous
Canterbury
Cathedral.
This
stunning
Gothic
structure
has
been
standing
since
the
year
597
and
is
one
of
the
oldest
and
most
famous
places
of
worship
in
the
world.
The

the
Archbishop
of
Canterbury
who
was
murdered
in
the
cathedral
in
1170. After
exploring
the
cathedral
and
its
beautiful
grounds,
I
walked
down
the
cobbled
streets
of
the
city
to
visit
Canterbury
Castle.
The
castle
was
built
in
the
11th
century
and
served
as
a
residence
for
the
Archbishop
of
Canterbury.
Today,
the
castle
ruins
offer
visitors
a
glimpse
into
the
city's
medieval
past. Next,
I
visited
St.
Augustine's
Abbey,
another
historic
site
that
dates
back
to
the
early
Christian
era.
The
abbey
was
actually
founded
by
the
same
Saint
Augustine
who
brought
Christianity
to
England
and
is
now
a
UNESCO
World
Heritage
site. In
the
afternoon,
I
decided
to
take
a
break
from
history
and
explore
the
city's
more
contemporary
offerings.
I
visited
the
Marlowe
Theatre,
a
modern
venue
that
hosts
a
variety
of
plays,
concerts
and
comedy
shows.
After
the
show,
I
strolled
down
the
high
street
and
popped
into
a
few
local
shops
and
boutiques. Finally,
as
the
sun
began
to
set,
I
headed
to
the
West
Gate
Towers
to
take
in
the
stunning
views
of
the
city
from
above.
This
14th
century
gatehouse
offers
a
panoramic
view
of
the
city
and
its
surroundings,
making
it
the
perfect
spot
to
end
a
day
of
exploring. Overall,
my
day
in
Canterbury
was
a
perfect
mix
of
history,
culture
and
modern
entertainment.
It's
easy
to
see
why
this
beautiful
city
remains
a
beloved
destination
for
tourists
and
locals
alike.
