Bangor is a city in Gwynedd, Wales, and one of the smallest cities in Britain. The origins of the city date back to the founding of a monastic establishment on the site of Bangor Cathedral by the Celtic saint Deiniol in the early 6th century AD.   The name ‘Bangor’ itself is an old Welsh word for a type of fenced-in enclosure, such as was originally on the site of the cathedral.   The present cathedral is a somewhat more recent building and has been extensively modified throughout the centuries.
Bangor in 1610.

While the building itself is not the oldest, and certainly not the biggest, the bishopric of Bangor is one of the oldest in Britain.   Another claim to fame is that Bangor allegedly has the longest High Street in Wales.   Friars School was founded as a free grammar school in 1557, and Bangor University was founded in 1884.
