Canterbury is a historic cathedral city located in Kent, southeast England. The city's rich history dates back to Roman times, but it is most renowned for its medieval heritage and as the seat of the Church of England. At its heart stands the magnificent Canterbury Cathedral, a UNESCO World Heritage site and one of the oldest Christian structures in England, where Archbishop Thomas Becket was famously martyred in 1170.
The city's cultural landscape was notably captured in Geoffrey Chaucer's "The Canterbury Tales," which has helped shape English literature. Beyond its religious significance, Canterbury preserves much of its medieval character through its ancient city walls, timber-framed houses, and cobbled streets.
The city maintains a vibrant cultural scene with multiple museums, theaters, and art galleries, blending its historical heritage with contemporary artistic expression. As a university city, it also benefits from a dynamic academic atmosphere that contributes to its cultural life.
