ST PAUL'S CATHEDRAL

St Paul's Cathedral is a cathedral in London built upon Ludgate Hill, under the guidance of Sir Christopher Wren. The first stone was laid in 1675, following the destruction of the previous Gothic church of St Paul which stood on the site was destroyed in the Great Fire Of London of 1666.
St Paul's Cathedral was completed, except for a few decorations, in 1710. The site was originally host to a Roman temple to Diana, which was replaced by a church to St Paul in the 7th century, which burned down in 1087 and was replaced by a Gothic church in 1240.
