St Paul's Cathedral in London is one of the most iconic landmarks of the city. Designed by Sir Christopher Wren, it was completed in 1708 after the Great Fire of London destroyed the original medieval cathedral. The cathedral features a magnificent dome, which is among the largest in the world, standing at 111 meters tall. The interior is adorned with stunning mosaics, intricate carvings, and historic artworks. St Paul's has been the site of many significant events, including the funeral of Sir Winston Churchill and the wedding of Prince Charles and Lady Diana Spencer. Its Whispering Gallery, located within the dome, is famous for its unique acoustics.
