The Marvel of St. Paul's Cathedral: A Historical Gem in London

St. Paul's Cathedral, an iconic symbol of London, boasts a magnificent Gothic design, marked by the world's second-largest dome. Originally built on a historic site with four previous structures, this architectural wonder was renovated by Sir Christopher Wren between 1675 and 1710 following the Great Fire of London. Explore its stunning Whispering Gallery, Stone Gallery, and Golden Gallery for breathtaking views of the city, including the River Thames and Shakespeare's Globe Theatre. The crypt houses over 200 tombs, including those of notable figures like Admiral Nelson and Sir Christopher Wren himself.
