St Paul'sCathedral

http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/visit-britain-london 57/93

St Paul's Cathedral is the Anglican cathedral on Ludgate Hill, in the City of London, andthe seat of the Bishop of London. The cathedral is one of London's most visited sites.

The cathedral is built of Portland stone in a late Renaissance style that is England's soberBaroque. Its impressive dome was inspired by St Peter's Basilica in Rome. It rises 365 feet(108 m) to the cross at its summit, making it a famous London landmark. Wren achieved apleasing appearance by building three domes: the tall outer dome is non-structural but

impressive to view, the lower inner dome provides an artistically balanced interior, andbetweenthe two is a structural cone that supports the apex structure and the outer dome.

The nave has three small chapels in the two adjoining aisles ²  All Souls and St Dunstan's inthe north aisle and the Chapel of the Order of St Michael and St George in the south aisle. Themain space of the cathedral is centered under the Dome; it rises 108.4 metres from thecathedral floor and holds three circular galleries ² the internal Whispering Gallery, theexternal Stone Gallery, and the external Golden Gallery.

Memorials: The cathedral has a very substantial crypt, holding over 200 memorials, andserves as both the Order of the British Empire Chapel and the Treasury. The cathedral hasvery few treasures: many have been lost, and in 1810 a major robbery took almost all of theremaining precious artefacts.

The Royal Family holds most of their important marriages, christenings and funerals atWestminster Abbey, but St Paul's was used for the marriage of Charles, Prince of Walesand Lady Diana Spencer. The religious service for Queen Victoria's Diamond Jubilee was

also celebrated there.
