St. Paul's Cathedral

St. Paul's Cathedral is defined by a massive, lead-covered dome that rises three hundred sixty-five feet above the crest of Ludgate Hill. This pale Portland stone structure dominates the London skyline, its English Baroque silhouette marked by twin western towers and a ceremonial portico. Designed by Sir Christopher Wren, the building occupies the highest point in the City of London, a site that has held a cathedral dedicated to Saint Paul since the year six hundred four.
