Places to Visit in London (III): St. Paul's Cathedral


Built by Sir Christopher Wren, Saint Paul's Cathedral stands on different older temples, with the last one being destroyed in The Great Fire of London (1666). It is one of the most beautiful Renaissance buildings. Its dome is only surpassed by the one in San Pedro (Rome). It's surroundings are really interesting because it turns out that this cathedral is inserted in the middle of a business area. Surprisingly, St. Paul's is in complete harmony with this awkward area. Walk around it to discover magnificient details and, of course, visit it!
