Review:
Cambridge is famous for being home to two prestigious universities - Harvard University and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. The city is located just across the Charles River from Boston but is known for being more progressive, tolerant, and liberal than its neighbor. The city was established in 1630 and has many interesting historical buildings, gardens, cathedrals, and museums.
Some of the historic places of worship include the Church of St. Mary the Great, Holy Sepulchre, Ely Cathedral, and All Saints’ Church. There are numerous museums located throughout Cambridge, including the Fitzwilliam Museum, which is an art museum, the Sedgwick Museum of Earth Science, the Museum of Archeology and Anthropology, and the Museum of Cambridge.
