Ely Cathedral

Ely is an interesting location in the county of Cambridgeshire. The cathedral, one of the most emblematic of the United Kingdom as well as interesting for its unusual design, is very attractive to visitors. The place where the cathedral is located dates back to the days of the Anglo-Saxons. The cathedral underwent several structural changes and extensions over the years. Building work on the cathedral started in 1082 and it was dedicated to St. Etheldreda (Celtic-Christian holiness). Its construction was begun in English Romanesque style but with many parts in the English Gothic style. Both the exterior and the interior are impressive, especially the paintings on wood that are located on the roof of the nave.
