#Bangor Cathedral stands on the site where Saint Deiniol founded his monastery in 525 AD. The #cathedral was built on a low-lying, inconspicuous site, possibly to avoid attracting Viking raiders from the sea in ancient times. It was destroyed and rebuilt several times over the centuries, with its origins dating from the 12th century, though much of the current structure reflects later reconstructions —particularly from the 15th century and a major 19th-century restoration.
Bangor grew alongside the cathedral, so the city celebrates its 1,500th anniversary this year, making it the oldest (cathedral) city in #Wales. Happy birthday! 🎉
