London, St Paul's Cathedral


Surprise! Another church. This time St. Paul's Cathedral, one of the most historic and famous buildings in London. The history of Saint Paul's reaches all the way back to 604 when a church was erected on the site in honor of Paul the Apostle. In 1087 the original abbey burned down, so they built a new one that opened in 1300. That version was shaped like the current one, but it didn't have a dome. Then in 1666 it burned down again. It wouldn't be complete until 1711, and that's what stands today.
