About
Fakta singkat: Langit-langit gotik yang menjulang dan cahaya lembut dari kaca patri membuat setiap langkah bergaung seperti melintasi panggung upacara kerajaan. Lebih dari seribu tokoh penting, termasuk raja, penulis, dan ilmuwan, dimakamkan di sana, membuat ruangnya terasa seperti galeri biografi nasional.
Sorotan: Masuk ke dalamnya terasa seperti menengok sejarah hidup: kursi penobatan kayu yang dibuat sekitar tahun 1300 masih berdiri, pernah menahan Batu Scone saat raja-raja dinobatkan sejak 1308, sementara lampu remang dan bau lilin membuat setiap ukiran batu tampak hidup. Di sudut yang disebut Poets' Corner ada makam Geoffrey Chaucer dan plakat untuk Charles Dickens serta Rudyard Kipling, dan di bawah lantai tergolek makam Prajurit Tak Dikenal yang dikuburkan pada 11 November 1920, membuat ruang itu terasa berbisik dari ratusan cerita manusia.
Insider tips
- Arrive at opening on weekdays to beat coach groups and get clearer views of the nave and tombs.
- Leave large luggage at your hotel, security checks are strict and bulky bags can slow entry.
- Buy a timed ticket online and use the included audio guide to quickly locate key tombs and memorials.
- Wear comfortable shoes, expect uneven stone steps and cobbles in the cloisters and nave.
