St. Paul's Cathedral is the central object and one of the most prominent features of present-day London, and stands at the top of LUDGATE HILL. Its massive dome (the cross is 365 feet about the ground) towers above all its surroundings, and gives an impression of grandeur appropriate to the first ecclesiastical building in England. The present edifice was begun by Sir Christopher Wren in 1674, after the destruction of the old building in the Great Fire of London, 1666.
