Salisbury Cathedral and its iconic 123-meter spire

Magnificent exterior view of Salisbury Cathedral dominating the Wiltshire landscape with its famous spire, the tallest in England at 123 meters. The west facade in Early English Gothic style features rich sculptural decoration with niches, pinnacles and pointed windows that testify to the mastery of medieval stonemasons. The vast green lawn surrounding the cathedral, known as the Cathedral Close, hosts contemporary bronze sculptures that harmoniously dialogue with the medieval architecture. This 13th-century masterpiece houses one of four original copies of the Magna Carta.
