Known for historical buildings built during reign of William the Conqueror, Caen is one of the main cities of Normandy. Much of the city was destroyed during World War II but its historical landmark, the Château of Caen, managed to stay in tact. Today visitors will find a city truly influenced by its diverse history. From traces of William the Conqueror to the Caen Memorial which houses a museum focused on peace, the city makes a true effort to honor its past.
