Acerca de
Datos rápidos: Tres copias supervivientes de la Carta Magna existen, y la Catedral de Lincoln alberga una de ellas en su impresionante sala capitular abovedada. Su aguja central la convirtió una vez en el edificio más alto del mundo con 160 metros, hasta que una tormenta la derribó en 1549.
Destacados: Mira hacia arriba en el techo del Coro de los Ángeles y verás más de 300 ángeles tallados mirándote, cada uno con diferentes expresiones y posturas. El "Duende de Lincoln" medieval tallado en un pilar es una traviesa criatura de piedra con una pierna cruzada, y la leyenda dice que un ángel convirtió a un duende en piedra en medio de una travesura justo aquí.
Consejos de expertos
- Climb the tower for panoramic views over Lincolnshire, but book ahead as spaces are limited to small groups.
- The Wren Library above the cloisters holds the Magna Carta copy, but it is only open for limited hours on specific days, so check the schedule before you go.
- Wear comfortable walking shoes, as the cathedral sits at the top of Steep Hill and involves walking on uneven medieval stone floors inside.
- Visit during Advent to hear the famous Lincoln Cathedral Choir performing in the spectacular acoustic setting.
