King's College Chapel in Cambridge, United Kingdom, is an iconic Gothic masterpiece and a significant architectural landmark. Founded in 1446 by King Henry VI, the chapel is renowned for its stunning fan-vaulted ceiling, one of the finest examples in the world, and its magnificent stained glass windows, which date from the 16th century. The chapel's impressive acoustics make it a famous venue for choral music, particularly the annual Christmas Eve service, "A Festival of Nine Lessons and Carols," which is broadcast globally.
