WESTMINSTER ABBEY - NICOLA



Westminster Abbey was built between 1045 and 1050.
It is the most beautiful Gothic church in London.
Tradition says that a young fisherman saw a vision of Saint Peter near the site.
The construction of the church began in 1245 because King Henry III selected this site for his burial. This church was restored many times.
All the coronations of the British rulers were held in the Abbey.
The church is a collegiate church.
