Winchester, United Kingdom
Winchester was the capital of Anglo-Saxon England under Alfred the Great and remained one of England's most important cities through the Norman period. The cathedral, begun in 1079, has the longest medieval cathedral in Europe at 170 meters. The Great Hall is all that survives of the medieval castle and displays a round table long associated with King Arthur, though it dates to the 13th century.
