It is a very beautiful ancient place. People go for pilgrimage because mainly for its inner beauty and because of Welsh history. Many people say that it is a magical place but you wouldn't know unless you stayed there, but indeed it is quite magical. It is a place where it shows it true essence of Welsh history and culture. It is very special because of its religious pilgrimage site. Mainly St David's is a place where you see its natural beauty of Pembrokeshire coast. (just for your info St David's Cathedral is in Pembrokeshire West Wales) Please do not copy this in any way because I did this with my own words. It religious site continued from 14 centuries. You can still catch faint echoes of St. David's voice, which is one of those magical things about St David's Cathedral. I hope you liked my words.
The Cathedral is the Hagia Sophia -- pronounced ah-ya so-fee-a. (Greek Ἁγία Σοφία / Turkish Ayasofya)
A cathedral is a church where there is a bishop. No one lived in the cathedral itself. At a cathedral, there was usually a monastery or abbey, the bishop's palace, possibly a school, possibly a hospital, and other buildings. These included housing for monks, nuns, students, servants, workers, administrators, and so on.
He didn't - it was Henry III who started construction of the present-day church in 1245, though Henry I did get married in the church, to Matilda of Scotland, in 1140 - the first to do so, and only of two reigning monarchs to marry in the Church, the other being Richard II.
because it holds one of the most famouse historic story: the murder of thomas becket and miracles after
Sauls time was not so good, but king Davids and king Solomons period were the best in Jewish history.
St. Mary's cathedral was originally built in 1821, but was unfortunately destroyed by a fire. So the new cathedral was built in 1868
It is an important historic site, a wonder to see, and a beautiful building. Services are not conducted in it today. You aren't telling me why st basil's cathedral is so important. Could you tell me that?
Saint Davids is the smallest city in the UK so probably has the smallest pop
look it up on google! :D
The pro-Cathedral is known as St. Mary's pro-Cathedral. It is on Marlborough Street, near O'Connell Street, which is Dublin's main street. Although it has similar columns on the front of it, it is not the GPO (General Post Office) which is on O'Connell Street.The pro-Cathedral is Catholic, but it is not a full Cathedral. Dublin has two Cathedrals: St. Patrick's Cathedral and Christchurch Cathedral, both of which are Church of Ireland, which is Protestant. St. Patrick's is the national Cathedral and Christchurch is the city Cathedral. Both pre-date the reformation, but became Protestant under Henry VIII in the 1530s and have remained so ever since. As Christchurch retains the status of the city Cathedral, then the pro-Cathedral is not a full cathedral, hence the name. It is not very large and not even the largest Catholic church in the diocese of Dublin. Many other catholic churches in Dublin are bigger. Below you will find photos of the pro-Catherdral, Christchurch Cathedral, St. Patrick's Cathedral and also the GPO.

Sans Souci palace, the Citadel, the Iron Market, the Cathedral of Notre Dame (not the one in France) St. Louis Cathedral, Bassin Bleue, Labadee and so many more.
Ivan the Terrible was most known for his political accomplishments, although he did build a cathedral in 1560. Ivan the Terrible tried to expand westward, and in doing so he build a Cathedral to show the victory over Kazan (Ivan the Terrible). The Cathedral was built to honor Ivan's successful military against Tartan Mongols (St. Basils' Cathedral).
That Ivan the Terrible, who ordered that the cathedral be built, blinded the architect who designed and oversaw the construction of the cathedral, so that he would not be able to build anything like it elsewhere. This is known to be untrue because there are records of the architect, Postnik Yakovlev, was still active in the building trade way after the cathedral was completed.
No, Saint David's Cathedral is not a Catholic church. It is the cathedral of the Anglican Church in Wales, located in Pembrokeshire, Wales. The cathedral is dedicated to Saint David, the patron saint of Wales, and has been a site of pilgrimage and worship for centuries within the Anglican tradition.
St. Patrick OBVI.
