Sir
Christopher Wren designed this wonderful building, which was
started 9 years after the medieval St Pauls had been burnt down in
the Fire of London. He completed this masterpiece in 1711. It was
hailed as the world's first Protestant cathedral and to this day
dominates much of the City's skyline.
You can climb up in to the Whispering gallery in the dome, where a
whisper at one side carries right round the dome. Then up to the
Stone Gallery giving a view over the city, and up to the Golden
Gallery at the top of the dome.
The crypt is equally impressive, with the tombs of both Nelson and
Wellington. |
