I didn't have any particular reason to visit Salisbury, a city located in Wiltshire, England. Like most people do, I came to Salisbury on my way to Stonehenge. But before heading there, I did a little bit of research and found out that Salisbury has a very long and reach history way predating the Roman times. The city's main draw though is Salisbury Cathedral erected in the 1200s. The cathedral is among the finest examples of early English architecture and holds one of the four surviving copies of the Magna Carta.

The central part of Salisbury is small and cozy. And I can't even imagine it without light rain which is very typical for England.

Stone or red brick buildings plus some mould and moss - that's your typical English style.

A deer on a leash, so it does not escape.

A central square.

Chicago style.

Salisbury Cathedral holds the best preserved original copy of the 1215 Magna Carta. Why is the Magna Carta important? Because it's a foundation of human rights and justice not only in Britain but around the world. Most democratic world constitutions are based on the Magna Carta including the United States Constitution, the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms and many others.

I didn't get to see the Magna Carta at the Cathedral this time, but I actually saw another copy of four in Toronto in 2015 when it was brought to Canada from England to commemorate 800 years of its creation. Here it is (pardon for the quality, it looks like this picture with my old smartphone).
