Westminster Cathedral, officially the Metropolitan Cathedral of the Most Precious Blood, is a Catholic church at Westminster, London, England. It is the seat of the Archbishop of Westminster. Designed by John Francis Bentley in a Christian neo-Byzantine style influenced by ninth-century architecture, it is constructed almost entirely of brick, without steel reinforcements. The site on which the cathedral stands was purchased by the Archdiocese of Westminster in 1885 with construction taking place from 1895 to 1903. The cathedral has been visited by Pope John Paul II in 1982, by Queen Elizabeth II in 1995 – the first reigning monarch to attend a Catholic service since the Reformation – and by Pope Benedict XVI in 2010. This picture shows Westminster Cathedral's chapel of the Blessed Sacrament.
