The city of Exeter is the county town of Devon, in the southwest of England, or alternatively the Westcountry. It is situated on the River Exe, The historic centre of the city is build upon an extinct volcano, which had its sumit in the city's Northernhay Gardens. Many of Exeter's historic buildings were destroyed in the Second World War when Hitler order the Luftwaffe to blitz the city; a repsponse to the RAF bombing of Lubeck. A total of 18 raids between 1940 and 1942 flattened much of the centre of Exeter, but failed however to demolish the grand Cathedral of St Peter in the heart of the city. The city centre is currently undergoing another significant change with the redevelopment of the Princesshay shopping centre, due to be completed in 2007, to ensure that Exeter can compete with other regional cities, such as Plymouth and Bristol. In the 2001 census the population was recorded at 111,066. The city's motto, Semper fidelis, is traditionally held to have been suggested by Elizabeth I.
