its grim history, used sometimes as a prison, palace, songeon, zoo,
mint, site of torture and bloody executions. See also the fabulous Crown

legend of the Ravens and much more. ANCIENT CITY OF

London's third and newest city. ST PAUL'S
CATHEDRAL -
This magnificent church is the masterpiece of Sir Christopher Wren, the
great English architech. Completed in 1710 after just 35 years of
building, it is the seat of the Bishop of London and stands on a site
that has witnessed Christian worship for over 1400 years. Housing the
