Although commonly known as Salisbury Cathedral, its official name is Saint Mary’s Cathedral.
Salisbury Cathedral has the tallest church spire in the UK, the largest cloister in England, and one of the remaining four original copies of the Great Charter.
Construction began when the bishopric was moved from Old Sarum to Salisbury in 1221 under Bishop Richard Poore. Due to the height of the water table in the chosen place, the cathedral was built on only four foundations, and around 1258 the nave, the transepts and the choir were completed.

The city had a population of 45,000 in 2006.
Its former name was Old Sarum. The town dates back to the Iron Age and the Romans called it Sorviodunum. The city was devastated by the invasions of the Angles and the Saxons. According to some Arthurian legends, it is the place called «Camlann» where King Arthur received the mortal blow.
