Glastonbury Abbey

Glastonbury Abbey is a historic ruin in Somerset, England, once a thriving Christian monastic site founded in the 7th century. It played a significant role in medieval religious life and was believed to be associated with legends of King Arthur and Christian saints. Over centuries, the abbey grew in importance, but it was dissolved in the 16th century during the Reformation, leading to its decline. Today, it remains a fascinating archaeological site and symbol of England’s spiritual heritage, attracting visitors interested in history, legend, and architecture.
