🇬🇧United Kingdom, City of Canterbury

Canterbury is a medieval city in Great Britain, located in the south-east of the country, in the county of Kent. Of all the city's treasures, the main one is Canterbury Cathedral, the main cathedral of the Anglican Church. The western twin towers and the central bell tower with a height of 72 m are decorated with amazing turrets at the top.

Canterbury is surrounded by city walls on three sides, obscuring the streets with houses. Built at the beginning of the XIV century . The Friedland Gate is located on the Monastery Street at the entrance to the Abbey of St. Augustine, where this missionary is buried. Charles I and his bride Henrietta Maria spent their wedding night in the bedchamber above the gate. Of all the ancient gates in the city, only the Western Gate of 1387, which was once used as the city prison, has been preserved. And nowadays there are handcuffs, shackles, as well as weapons and armor.
