St. Pauls's Cathedral

The first Saint Paul's Cathedral was built in 604. During the following centuries, the building has been demolished or damaged multiple times by fire. But every time the Cathedral was restored. Until 1561, a fire damaged the Cathedral and the building came in a decline. Eventually the whole Siant Pual's Cathedral burned down in the Great Fire of London , one century later.
In 1675 the City of London started to rebuilt the St. Paul's Cathedral which was finished around 1710.
But, just like the past, the new Cathedral had to suffer from some disasters, for example during the Second World War, where a German bomb damaged the Cathedral, luckely enough the damage was easy to repair.

Below the Saint Paul's Cathedral is a large cript where you can find the memorials of several important, mostly military personel, for exameple Lord Nelson.
The 'Great Tom' is the bell in the top of the St. Paul. You can only hear the 'Great Tom' when a family member of the Royal Family died or when a Bisshop died, but the other bells in the clocktower do its job every hour of the day.

The St. Paul's Cathedral is open for the public all day's of the week accept for Sunday's and some public holiday's. You can view the cript and the inside of the cathedral. If you like to climbe a lot of stairs, you can also go to the top of the St. Paul's Cathedral and enjoy the magnificent view of London. You can easilly see the Big Ben and the London Eye in the distance.
