Architecture of St Paul's Cathedral
St. Paul's Cathedral was designed by Christopher Wren to replace the old Medieval style cathedral that burn down in the fire of London. Christopher Wren decided to go with English Baroque style, making St. Paul's the first non-medieval styled church on London. The Cathedral's main floor is divided into five sections; the Nave, the Dome, the North and South Transepts, and the Quire.
The Nave is the longest section of the Cathedral.
The Dome is comprised of three parts. The inner dome the support cone and the exterior dome. Wren wanted the dome to reach 365 feet in height, but didn't want the interior to seem out of proportion. The inner dome is meant to make the inside look natural while the cone supports the outer dome.
The North and South Transepts were originally meant to be longer. That design got rejected and they were made shorter in order to make the building appear like a cross from the outside.
the Quire houses the organ and a monument for those who died in World War I. along with the Bishops
The Cathedral also has a Crypt, and access to all of the levels in the dome.
