Wren's great dome

St Paul's refers to St Paul's Cathedral, the iconic domed church in London designed by Sir Christopher Wren after the Great Fire of 1666.

It serves as a landmark and tourist destination, the site of major state ceremonies, and a symbol of the city itself: We met on the steps of St Paul's.

The name also identifies various churches, schools, and institutions dedicated to Saint Paul.
