The city’s huge cathedral, or Minster, is one of the largest in the world and was built in the 13th century. The area below the main building has Roman remains, including the home of the emperor Constantine. Two other York museums focus on more recent British history, the National Railway Museum and the Castle Museum, with displays of everyday British life during the last 100 years.
