York Minster is the largest medieval gothic cathedral in northern Europe and the seat of the Archbishop of York. Building began around 1220 and the cathedral was consecrated in 1472, 250 years that run from Early English through Decorated to Perpendicular gothic, visible in the transepts, nave, chapter house, choir and towers. Beneath it lie the remains of the Roman fortress basilica of Eboracum, where Constantine was proclaimed emperor in 306. People come for the glass as much as the stone. The Minster holds roughly half of all the surviving medieval stained glass in England, among it the Great East Window, glazed by John Thornton between 1405 and 1408 and the largest single expanse of medieval glass anywhere in the world. A visit divides into the nave, the north transept with the Five Sisters Window, the octagonal chapter house, and the Undercroft museum of Roman and Norman foundations, the Horn of Ulf and the story of the 1984 fire. Above it all, 275 steps climb the Central Tower to a roof-level view over the city.
