SAINT PAUL'S
CATHEDRAL
St. Paul's Cathedral was built
after the devastating Great Fire of 1666 destroyed most of London. It was designed by
Christopher Wren, renowned architect of the age, who chose to mix many styles in planning the
great cathedral, including classical and gothic construction. Almost 300 years later, St. Paul's survived the
Luftwaffe's bombs and became a
symbol of hope to devastated Londoners. The cathedral has also been the venue
for royal weddings including the
marriage of Prince Charles and Princess Diana..
