中文注释:威斯敏斯特修道院的尖顶在暮色黄昏中留下了迷人的轮廓。这座著名的伦敦教堂最初是座本笃会修道院,在1040年由爱德华国王扩建。为了区别于称为“东教堂”的圣保罗大教堂,这座修道院被称为“西教堂(West minster)”。几百年来,威斯敏斯特修道院一直是举办皇家加冕仪式和葬礼的所在。作者: Jodi Cobb
威斯敏斯特 修道院 英国 图片故事:高清壁纸:英文注释:Silhouette of Westminster Abbey, London, England, 2000The spires of Westminster Abbey cut dramatic shapes into a blushing twilight sky. The famous London church began as a Benedictine monastery enlarged by King Edward in the 1040s. It was designated the "west minster" to distinguish it from St. Paul's Cathedral, the "east minster." For centuries, Westminster Abbey has hosted royal coronations and burials. (Photo shot on assignment for, but not published in, "London on a Roll," June 2000, National Geographic magazine) 随机推荐: |
