The Western Towers of Durham Cathedral
The Western Towers of Durham Cathedral
Viewed from the top of the Central Tower.
The Cathedral’s original western towers were small, and were later incorporated into the larger, current structures when these were built around 1200.
The Cathedral’s towers were especially important in Durham, where the building stands surrounded by rising land, and would otherwise be hidden from view.
