St. Paul’s Cathedral

One of London's most significant and identifiable landmarks is St. Paul's Cathedral. From 1710 to 1967, it held the record for tallest building in London with a massive height of 365 feet (111 meters). One of the tallest structures in the world is its dome. Sir Christopher Wren was the architect of the current church, which was built in the late 17th century. One of the most renowned English architects in history was Sir Christopher Wren. Heavily influenced by Baroque architecture, his works.

The Cathedral was constructed in a restrained or improvised Baroque style, which is a simplification of English medieval cathedrals. Palladio, the baroque style of 17th-century Rome, and the structures of Mansart and others that he had seen in France served as sources of inspiration.

St. Paul's is relatively wide and has transepts that protrude outward substantially. It places a lot of focus on its facade, which was purposefully created to reveal rather than hide the shape of the building behind it.
