<p>Coventry Cathedral, also known as "St Michael's Cathedral" (St Michael's Cathedral), is located in the center of Coventry. On November 14, 1940, the magnificent Coventry Cathedral was reduced to rubble in a Nazi lightning raid. In 1962, a new church was built next to the ruins. "War Requiem" written by composer Benjamin Britten (1913-1976) was premiered at the inauguration ceremony. The lyrics were based on the poets who died in World War I. Poetry by Wilfred Owen (1893-1918). The church's stained glass and Gothic spire are stunning, as is the Christ tapestry inside (by Graham Sutherland). The sculpture on the doorway was created by Jacob Epstein and shows St. Michael fighting the devil.</p><h1>kenilworth castle</h1><p>The castle was built in the 1120s, almost 900 years ago. It was continuously expanded in the 14th and 16th centuries and has been owned or lived in by some important figures. 1563,<a href="https://www.mafengwo.cn/travel-scenic-spot/mafengwo/10122.html" target="_blank">U.K.</a>Queen Elizabeth I gave the castle to<a href="https://www.mafengwo.cn/travel-scenic-spot/mafengwo/60677.html" target="_blank">Leicester</a>Earl Robert Dudley (legendary lover of Queen Elizabeth). In order to win the queen's heart, the earl remodeled the castle and built an Elizabethan style garden. Part of the castle has been demolished and the lake has been<a href="https://www.mafengwo.cn/travel-scenic-spot/mafengwo/10122.html" target="_blank">U.K.</a>It was drained in 1644 after the Civil War, but the massive 12th-century military fortifications and Norman-era city walls remain intact. Anyway, most of the castle is in ruins. I climbed to the height of the innermost ruins and could look out over the grassland outside. A tower that was not completely destroyed was a bit eerie when I entered it. It has become a residence for many birds. While walking up the stairs, I heard the chirping of birds echoing in the house, which was a bit scary. On the north side of the ruins is an Elizabethan garden with many plants planted in it. On the east side of the garden is a well-maintained Leicester Gatehouse, which has two floors and is mainly for exhibitions. It was here that I learned about Queen Elizabeth and Dudley. There is also a "Speed ​​and Power" in the gatehouse. Exhibition tells the story of local car manufacturing.</p><p></p>
