Saint Paul's Cathedral was designed by English architect Sir Christopher Wren and completed in 1710, to replace the previous structure which was destroyed in London's Great Fire of 1666. Wren held the position of surveyor of the royal works in the British government for 50 years, but the cathedral is his internationally best known work. The cathedral's large dome is modeled on Rome's Pantheon, flanked by two (English) baroque style towers. Sir Christopher Wren died in 1723 and is buried in the cathedral.
Included among the many later historical events that took place at Saint Paul's Cathedral was the funeral of Winston Churchill in 1965; and in 1981, Prince Charles married Diana Frances Spencer, (Princess Diana), at the cathedral.
Yet even a more famous church in England, is the one at Westminster Abbey. Since the time of William the Conqueror, (1066), British monarchs have been crowned at the Abbey, and many are buried there. Among the famous people buried there, other than British royalty are Geoffrey Chaucer and Charles Darwin.
The Royal Albert Hall, located south of Kensington Gardens, in London, was built between 1867-1871 in honor of Prince Albert, Queen Victoria's consort. The facilities are still used for concerts and exhibitions of the performing arts.
