St Paul’s Cathedral

St Paul’s Cathedral

St Paul’s Cathedral is one of the most iconic landmarks in London, England. Designed by Sir Christopher Wren and completed in 1710 after the Great Fire of London, it is a masterpiece of English Baroque architecture. Its massive dome—one of the largest in the world—dominates the city skyline and serves as a symbol of resilience, spiritual devotion, and national identity. The cathedral has hosted numerous historic events, including the funerals of Winston Churchill and Margaret Thatcher, and the wedding of Prince Charles and Lady Diana. Beyond its religious significance, the cathedral embodies exceptional craftsmanship, including intricate stone carvings, mosaics, and a grand organ. Digital heritage technologies such as 3D photogrammetry, immersive virtual tours, and AR overlays can offer global audiences access to its interior and history while preserving the physical structure from overexposure. This project contributes to SDG 11 – Sustainable Cities and Communities by promoting the preservation of historical architecture and public access through responsible cultural tourism.
