St. Paul's Cathedral
Since 604 AD there has been a cathedral on the same site dedicated to the Apostle Paul. After the Great Fire of London in the 17th century, the church was rebuilt in its current form by Sir Christopher Wren.
St Paul's Cathedral has dominated London's skyline for 300 years and has witnessed many historical events, including the wedding of Princess Diana and Prince Charles. It is also the resting place of many historical figures, including Admiral Lord Nelson and Sir Christopher Wren.
When you stand under the 365-meter-tall dome and the entire building's plan is in the shape of a cross, you will be shocked by this amazing feat of engineering and architecture. St. Paul's Cathedral is unique in the city of London with its unique architectural style and highly recognizable dome.
