About

St Michael's ward encompasses Coventry's historic city centre, containing the iconic ruins of St Michael's Cathedral, destroyed during the Second World War. The area includes the modern cathedral, built adjacent to the old ruins, and the surrounding pedestrianised shopping precincts. Coventry Transport Museum, detailing the city's automotive history, is a key institution here.

The ward is defined by its post-war reconstruction, visible in its concrete architecture and planned layout. It functions as the primary retail and commercial hub for the city, with the Upper Precinct and Lower Precinct shopping areas. The Herbert Art Gallery and Museum provides local cultural resources, while Broadgate hosts public events at its central square.
