Located in the off-centre historic part of town, the Cathedral of Glasgow and the necropolis right behind it are among the oldest buildings of the city.
Glasgow was founded by Saint Mungo, the apostle who also built a first church on the location of where you can now find Glasgow Cathedral - or High Kirk of Glasgow. Saint Mungo lived in the 6th century, his own and subsequent wooden churches were replaced by a stone church in the 12th century. These, too, were replaced, adapted and changed; in the 15th century, some towers were added to the cathedral. This is one of the few cathedrals in Scotland to have survived the Reformation. After his death, Saint Mungo was buried where he had built his church, and it can now be seen in the crypt of Glasgow Cathedral.
