The Cathedral Church of Christ, Blessed Mary the Virgin and St Cuthbert of Durham, commonly referred to as [[Durham Cathedral]] was founded in its present form in AD 1093 and remains a centre for Christian worship today. It is generally regarded as one of the finest Romanesque cathedrals in Europe and the rib vaulting in the nave marks the beginning of Gothic ecclesiastical architecture. The cathedral has been designated a [[UNESCO]] World Heritage Site<ref name="whc.unesco.org">{{cite web|url=https://whc.unesco.org/en/list/370|title=Durham Castle and Cathedral – UNESCO World Heritage Centre|access-date=23 January 2009|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090219003730/https://whc.unesco.org/en/list/370|archive-date=19 February 2009|url-status=live}}</ref> along with nearby Durham Castle, which faces it across Palace Green, high above the River Wear.

The cathedral houses the shrine and related treasures of Cuthbert of Lindisfarne, and these are on public view. It is also home to the head of St Oswald of Northumbria and the remains of the [[Venerable Bede]].<ref name="whc.unesco.org"/>
