Founded in 1093 to house the shrine of St. Cuthbert, Durham Cathedral represents the finest example of Norman architecture in Europe, with revolutionary rib-vaulting that pointed toward Gothic development. The cathedral served as both pilgrimage destination and defensive structure, with its commanding position above the River Wear. Key viewpoints include the nave with its massive carved pillars, the Shrine of St. Cuthbert, the Romanesque Galilee Chapel, the monastic buildings including Britain's first restored monastic kitchen, and the tower offering city and river views. The cathedral represents Norman engineering ambition, monastic community life, and continuous worship for over nine centuries, maintaining architectural integrity through careful conservation.
