Canterbury is an important religious center mainly because it is the seat of the Archbishop of Canterbury, the spiritual head of the Church of England. It is also home to Canterbury Cathedral, one of the oldest and most famous Christian structures in England, which has been a place of pilgrimage for centuries.

After St. Augustine's arrival in 597 AD, Kent and Canterbury underwent significant religious and cultural transformation as Christianity spread throughout the region. St. Augustine established the first archbishopric in Canterbury, which became a central hub for the Christian faith in England.

The influence of Christianity also fostered the development of education and monasticism, shaping the region's social and political landscape.

Augustine’s efforts resulted in the foundation of the Diocese of Canterbury, which became the mother church of the English Christian community.
