Salisbury Cathedral

The number of towers on the three cathedrals is different. The cathedral in Salisbury has one central tower, the one in Amiens has two, but they do not come to a point, and the cathedral at Cologne has three towers. Two of the cathedrals, Cologne and Amines, do not have courtyards connected to them. According to the Gothic website Salisbury is the only one of the three we are looking at that does not have any significant remains that reside there. Cologne is said to hold the remains of the three Magi, and the purpose of Amiens was to house the remains of St. John the Baptist.
