Winchester locations
Make up your own mind about The Da Vinci Code as Winchester explores its concepts, symbols and mysteries.
Dating back over 900 years, Winchester's world-famous cathedral is as remarkable for its hidden treasures as for its spectacular architecture. Here, in the longest medieval nave in Europe, you'll find outstanding works of art alongside the tombs of Jane Austen, Izaak Walton and the early English kings.
Winchester Cathedral provided the backdrop to some of the opening scenes in The Da Vinci Code, where its north transept portrayed the Vatican.
Winchester is set to appear on the big screen once again in early 2007, when it will feature in Shekhar Kapur's 'The Golden Age' - the hotly anticipated follow-up to Kapur's award-winning 'Elizabeth'.
