Westminster Abbey is certainly one of the most famous churches in the world. For over 1000 years at the center of the political and religious life of England and Great Britain, together with St Margaret's Church and the Palace of Westminster it forms a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The origins of this church date back to the 10th century, when a community of Benedictine monks was founded, while the construction of the current building began in the 13th century. Its naves have witnessed many important historical moments: since the time of William the Conqueror all the English kings have been crowned in Westminster Abbey, where several weddings of members of the Royal Family have also taken place (including that between William and Kate, Dukes of Cambridge).
