St. Paul's Cathedral

London, Velika Britanija

The original St. Paul's Cathedral was built in 604 by the Bishop of London, Mellitus, but it was destroyed by fire in 1087.

The new cathedral was commissioned by William the Conqueror and work began on the building in the late 11th century. It took over 200 years to complete, and its design was influenced by the French Gothic style.

One of the largest and most impressive churches in Europe, St. Paul's Cathedral played a crucial role in many significant events in British history, over the centuries: it was the site of numerous royal weddings, funerals and during the Second World War, when its dome served as a beacon for Londoners during the Blitz and it survived several direct hits from German bombs

St. Paul's Cathedral has remained as a symbol of London. Today is an appealing tourist attraction for tourists from all over the world
