DESCRIPTION

The Collegiate Church of St Peter at Westminster, which is almost always referred to popularly and informally as Westminster Abbey, is a large, mainly Gothic church, in Westminster, London, England (UK), located just to the west of the Palace of Westminster. It is the traditional place of coronation and burial site for English, later British and later still (and currently) monarchs of the Commonwealth Realms. It briefly held the status of a cathedral from 1546–1556, and is a Royal Peculiar.

Prima biserică a mănăstirii a fost ridicată în secolul X. Structura prezentă datează în mare parte din sec XIII. Turnurile frontonului de vest au fost proiectate de Nicholas Hawskmoor şi terminate în 1745

It was the first church in England built in the Norman Romanesque style. It was restored by Edward the Confessor and was consecrated on 28 December 1065, only a week before the King Edward's death. He thus became the first Monarch to be buried in the Abbey on 6 January 1066.
