In 597 BC, St. Augustine arrived in southern England at the order of the Pope in order to start converting locals , fact that transformed Canterbury into a pilgrimage place, long before the murder of Thomas Becket in the cathedral, in December 1170. Currently, the city is a place where pilgrims from around the world come to worship at the altar of St. Thomas Becket. In WWII, the city was heavily bombed, but the cathedral was not damaged.
