Informations supplémentaires

Photograph by David Coleman. St Paul's Cathedral is an Anglican cathedral in London, England, and the seat of the Bishop of London. The present cathedral, designed by Sir Christopher Wren, was built between 1675 and 1710 as part of the major rebuilding program following the Great Fire of London in 1666. St Paul's Cathedral sits at the top of Ludgate Hill, the highest point in the City of London, and is one of the most famous and recognizable sights of London with its distinctive dome. The dome, which stands 365 feet (111 meters) high, was inspired by St Peter's Basilica in Rome and was the tallest building in London from its completion until 1967. The cathedral is built of Portland stone in a late Renaissance style that represents England's most famous example of ecclesiastical baroque architecture. Inside, the cathedral has three circular galleries – the internal Whispering Gallery, the external Stone Gallery, and the external Golden Gallery. St Paul's has played an important role in English national identity, hosting funerals of Lord Nelson, the Duke of Wellington, Sir Winston Churchill, and Margaret Thatcher, as well as the wedding of Prince Charles and Lady Diana Spencer, and thanksgiving services for both Queen Elizabeth II's Golden Jubilee and Diamond Jubilee.
