St. David's Cathedral
Oct 8, 2005

Built in 1176 on the site of a 6th century monastery founded by St. David the patron Saint of Wales. He also lends his name to the settlement that grew up around the cathedral. No more than a large village in size it gets city status due to the cathedral (and thus is the smallest city in Britain).
