St. Paul’s Cathedral was built after the Great Fire of 1666. It stands in the heart of the City- the business centre of London. The architect was Sir ChristopherWren. It took him thirty-five years to finish St.Paul’s . The cathedral is a hundred and ten metres high from the cfloor to the top of the cross and you can climb the 627 steps up to the dome. Wren designed St. Paul’s to give a feeling of space and light. He built more than fifty churches after the Fire, but this is his masterpiece.

Inside the dome is the Whispering Gallery. If you whisper close to the wall on one side of the dome, you can be heard on the other side. St.Paul’s has seen many important occasions, like the Royal Wedding of 1981 when Prince Charles and Princess Diana were married. And famous people are buried here. Sir Christopher Wren himself is buried in the floor under the dome.

St.Paul’s Cathedral is an island of peace in the noise and activity of one of the biggest financial centres in the world.
