426 GB - Westminster Palace, Westminster Abbey and Saint Margaret's Church (1987)

Brief Description

"Westminster Palace, rebuilt from the year 1840 on the site of important medieval remains, is a fine example of neo-Gothic architecture. The site – which also comprises the small medieval Church of Saint Margaret, built in Perpendicular Gothic style, and Westminster Abbey, where all the sovereigns since the 11th century have been crowned – is of great historic and symbolic significance."

威斯敏斯特宫殿和教堂以及圣玛格丽特教堂
"在重要的中世纪遗迹原址上于1840年重建的威斯敏斯特宫殿是新哥特式建筑的典型。这里还包括圣玛格丽特教堂，这是一座小型的直角哥特式风格的中世纪教堂。威斯敏斯特教堂具有重要的历史意义和象征意义，从11世纪起历代国王都在此举行加冕仪式."
