St. Paul’s Cathedral - St. Paul’s Cathedral information and pictures



St. Paul’s Cathedral is an important landmark in London built in 604 AD and attracts thousands of people each year.

The current Anglican cathedral was designed by Christopher Wren in 1668 and was built between 1675 and 1708 after the Great fire of London destroyed the previous building. St Paul’s Cathedral has the second largest dome in the world right after St. Peter's Basilica in Rome. The dome is 108m high (365 feet). The west tower of the cathedral holds a clock and contains 13 bells. St Paul’s Cathedral was designed in late Renaissance style and was built of Portland Stone.

A few buildings were miraculously spared in 1666 when the Great fire of London burnt almost the entire city.

St. Paul’s Cathedral is open daily and if you climb up all the stairs to the first ring of the dome you will be rewarded with a splendid view of the city.
