Building
The current Cathedral – the fourth to occupy this site since 604 – was designed by the architect Sir Christopher Wren and built between 1675 and 1710 after its predecessor was destroyed in the Great Fire of London. Its architectural and artistic importance reflect the determination of the five monarchs who oversaw its building that London’s leading church should be as beautiful and imposing as their private palaces.   Wren's masterpiece has been where people and events of overwhelming importance to the country have been celebrated, mourned and commemorated to this day.   The magnificent mosaics are the result of Queen Victoria’s mid-19th century complaint that the interior was “most dreary, dingy and undevotional.”
