St. Paul Cathedral

Probably the building that played the most important part in world war two, St. Paul Cathedral became a symbol of the British spirit after this famous photo was published:

Huge and with an imposing dome, St. Paul Cathedral is surrounded by a green yard. Two twin towers guard the western pediment, built in 1707. In the north tower we can find "Great Paul" - which is actually the biggest bell in England, weighting approximatelly 17 tons.
Christopher Wren built St. Paul's Cathedral between 1675 and 1710. This happened as a result of the old medieval cathedral being destroyed in the Great Fire of 1666. Wren was the one who actually led the rebuilt of London after this fire, being responsible for designing 52 Churches.
