It serves as the cathedral of the Archbishop of Canterbury, the leader of the Church of England and the worldwide Anglican Communion. The cathedral was founded in 597 AD by St. Augustine and has been a site of pilgrimage for centuries, especially following the martyrdom of Thomas Becket in 1170. Its stunning Gothic architecture, magnificent stained glass windows, and historical significance make it a UNESCO World Heritage Site and a major tourist attraction.
