St. Paul’s Cathedral is a magnificent example of Gothic architecture located in London. Originally built on the site of four previous churches, the current structure was designed by Sir Christopher Wren and completed in 1710 after the Great Fire of London in 1666. The Cathedral features the second largest dome in the world, with three stunning galleries offering panoramic views of the city. Visitors will find a crypt housing over 200 tombs, including those of Admiral Nelson and Sir Christopher Wren. Open from Monday to Saturday, it's a must-visit historic landmark.
