The Glasgow Cathedral, erected as of the 12th century, houses the tomb of St. Mungo, the city's patron saint and founder (6th century). Near the cathedral is the oldest house in town (15th century), referred to as Provand's Lordship. Several of Charles Rennie Mackintosh’s works, famous architect and designer born in Glasgow in 1868, can be admired in various places and squares throughout the city, including the Glasgow School of Art, located near the Lighthouse.
