St. Paul’s Cathedral

-


At the highest point of London, on Langate Hill, is St. Paul's Cathedral. This Europe's largest Anglican church is the residence of the Bishop of London. St. Paul's Cathedral is one of the most famous buildings in London, which became a symbol of the hope and strength of the nation. The date of the opening of the cathedral is October 20, 1708.It was built by architect Christopher Wren in 1675-1708. 


The dome of the cathedral has become one of the main attractions of London. It has an external gallery, which gives a beautiful panorama of London.And under this dome there are 3 famous galleries: Whispering, Stone and Golden. The whispering gallery got its name due to the peculiarities of its acoustics: the whisper at one end of the room is well heard at its other end.


The spacious, well-planned interior of the cathedral makes an indelible impression on visitors.



In St. Paul’s Cathedral rests the ashes of nearly two hundred famous Englishmen.The first person buried in St. Paul’s Cathedral was Christopher Wren,the architect of the Cathedral.Duke Arthur Wellington,Admiral Horatio Nelson, Sir Winston Churchill and Lady Margaret Thatcher were also buried here. 


St. Paul’s Cathedral reflects almost the entire British history of the last centuries: falls and rises, tragedies and dramas.Today before us stands the greatest cathedral, which shows with its appearance the great talent and persistence of the architect.

Everyone in life at least once imagined the school of their dreams, in which there is no homework, boring subjects, etc.   As for me, the ideal school is a place where you study only those subjects that you need and are interested in. Your schedule is not loaded with unnecessary subjects.Also, the ideal school is a place which is   equipped with the latest technology and meets the needs of children. This school should have computer classes, a swimming  pool, various clubs, and also a place where children can spend their free time. For example, a school cinema, where they can watch a movie together, which will also strengthen their communication skills and make them more united.                                      Also there will work only qualified, experienced teachers who really love their work and are interested in giving knowledge to chil...

There are many historical sites and buildings in London and one of them is the Tower of London. The Tower of London, which stands on the north bank of the Thames, is the historic center of London, one of the oldest buildings in England and one of the main symbols of Britain, occupying a special place in the history of the English nation.  The history of this fortress is variegated: it was originally built as a defensive castle, and then it served as a zoo, and a mint, and a prison, and an observatory, and a storehouse of royal treasures. It was founded by Julius Caesar and in 1078 rebuilt by William The Conqueror.From the first years of its existence, the Tower began to overgrow with all sorts of rumors and legends, sometimes very sinister.

Officially, the fortress continues to be c...
