TRAVEL THE WORLD - WINDSOR, UK
St. George's Chapel, located at Windsor Castle in the south of England, is a fine example of the Perpendicular Gothic style of architecture. It was founded in 1348 by King Edward III with improvements and enlargements made between 1475 and 1528. It is where funerals of the Kings and Queens of England are held and where they are buried. The photo was taken in 1997.
