Leicester
Leicester is a city in England's East Midlands region. Leicester Cathedral, where Richard III was reinterred in 2015, has stood at the city's heart for over 900 years. Close by, the King Richard III Visitor Centre tells the story of the king's life and death and displays his original burial site. The ruins of Leicester Castle, where Richard III spent some of his last days, lie in Castle Gardens, near the River Soar.
