Built over 250 years, and renowned worldwide as an artistic and architectural masterpiece, York Minster acts as a beacon welcoming all visitors to the City of York. It also offers a wealth of things to see for people of all ages. History has been made over the centuries. For this is where the Emperor Constantine began his progress to greatness here, and the Roman buildings in which he lived still stand beneath the central tower. It is also where St Paulinus baptised the local Saxon king, and many of the Archbishops of York, including St William of York, are buried here.
