St. Augustine consists of a church and a monastery. The Baroque chapel is the essence of the whole of St. Augustine. When you enter the chapel, look up at the dome, the characters from the Bible are carefully painted by the hand of a skilled Italian painter. The tall pillars were carved with rose-shaped ornaments from the top to the bottom, the top of the choir loft was decorated with angels holding horns, and the huge chandeliers hanging from the tall dome added a bit of solemnity. St. Augustine had a large collection of French clothes, gold chalices, silver crosses, ivory statues, silk mantles and oil paintings embroidered with gold threads, and few churches and monasteries in Europe could match that. However, these precious collections have been lost in successive wars.

St. Augustine's Monastery is now a ruin, but it is a world heritage, an ancient monastery with a history of more than 500 years, a relic of the famous Saxon period, from the scale of the existing ruins, you can imagine how grand he was at the beginning, It is a great place to visit for the history of the UK.

Seeing comments from friends about what style of chapel here is, I think I should write something about this monastery, known as a World Heritage Site, which is worth wandering around. This is one of the most important monasteries in medieval England, with charming architecture, majestic memorials and a charming atmosphere. Visiting this place is to find and spiritual cultivation, giving us the opportunity to touch the spiritual birthplace of the English world. For nearly a thousand years, St. Augustine's monastery has been a center of learning and Christian spirituality. When these missionaries realized the difficulties they faced, the missionaries and his companions wanted to abandon their mission. But Pope Gregory was so determined that they were forced to continue their missionary mission that they eventually reached the Kingdom of Kent, where King thelberht was one of the most powerful men in England. Although he had not yet converted to Christianity, possibly because he had married a Christian wife, King Ethelbert welcomed Augustine and his missionaries and landed them outside the walls of the eastern city of Canterbury. Augustine and his companions initially had little success in Canterbury. Later, with the help of Queen Bessiah, King Ethelbert finally became Christian, and more and more subjects later became Christian. Augustine became the first archbishop of Canterbury, the capital of the Kingdom of Kent. The kings of England became the Christian nation, and Canterbury became the religious capital of England. Within 100 years of this, Augustine's work changed the whole of England, and the monastery named after him was the centre of English Christianity. Over the centuries, St. Augustine's monastery developed into a great Romanesque monastery, one of the most magnificent and influential monasteries in Europe. But this power and influence did not last. During the reign of Henry VIII, the great monastery was destroyed. Walking through the ruins and breathing the ancient atmosphere can temporarily keep us away from the hustle and bustle of the city.
