Steps down to St David's Cathedral in St Davids, Pembrokeshire, Wales
The cathedral shown here dates back to 1181, but it is thought to be the fourth to stand on the site of St David's original monastery, founded by the patron saint of Wales in the sixth century. The shrine to St David was a popular place of pilgrimage throughout the Middle Ages and deemed so important by Pope Callixtus II that two pilgrimages to St Davids were seen as equivalent to one to Rome and three were equivalent to one to Jerusalem.
