Gran Ruta de Escocia: ciudades históricas, castillos y paisajes míticos
St. Andrews Cathedral and St. Regulus Tower
Desde la torre de San Regulo podrás observar Saint Andrews, admirar su patrimonio histórico y su arte religioso medieval.
Legend has it that St. Regulus brought back from Greece the relics of St. Andrew, the patron saint of Scotland and protector of the Scots. In 1124, the city was named the Royal Burgh and 300 years later, in 1466, it was consecrated as an archbishopric. The cathedral was commissioned in the 12th century, but it was not completed until 1318.
For many years it was the largest building in all of Scotland. Its fate is easily ascertained from the remains that lie guarded by the great tower that once formed part of the building itself. It's worth taking a stroll among the tens of thousands of graves dotted around the temple grounds and enjoying one of the most iconic images of St Andrews.
You can also climb St. Regulus Tower, from where you'll have the best views of the city. Also worth a visit is the Cathedral Museum, which houses Pictish archaeological remains and examples of medieval religious art.
