Did you know that the current St Paul’s Cathedral, or Cathedral Church of Paul the Apostle, is actually the fifth in order? The previous churches have all burnt down or decayed over the years, since the first was built in AD 604. The present Cathedral was built in the 17^th century and you don’t need to know a lot about its history to understand that it’s been through a lot, both good and bad. It literally breathes history from over the years.

Neither need you be religious to appreciate the sightseeing tours around the area. It does not only tell you a more than 400 year long story, but the architecture around the place is also amazing. One must admit that the St Paul’s Cathedral designed by Sir Christopher Wren is a quite massive building! What might be interesting to know is that the church bell, Great Paul, is the heaviest in the whole United Kingdom with its 17 tons. How the heck did they manage to hang it up in the first place?

St Paul’s Cathedral is both for tourists who want to go sightseeing around the area and for anyone who needs a quiet moment to pray. The latter is naturally completely free of charge. For seightseeing, book your ticket online with gift-tours.com!
