Prince William and Kate Middleton will be married at Westminster Abbey in London.

Westminster Abbey's actual name is The Collegiate Church of St. Peter, Westminster. It has been the site of every English and British coronation since William the Conqueror in 1066.

The bride will enter through the front facade and proceed down the nave (the highest in Britain), stepping around the Grave of the Unknown Warrior, toward the sanctuary and the High Altar. The royal wedding ceremony will take place at the High Altar.

Take a look inside the landmark, which has been a stronghold for royal weddings for the past century.
