XIII. Read the text ‘St. Paul’s Cathedral’. Answer the questions that follow.
St. Paul's Cathedral is the work of the famous architect Sir Christopher Wren.
It is said to be one of the finest pieces of architecture in Europe. Work on Wren's
masterpiece began in 1675 after the Norman church, old St. Paul’s was destroyed in
the Great Fire in 1666. The building of St. Paul’s Cathedral went on for 35 years, and
Wren was an old man before it was finished. From far away you can see the huge
dome with a golden ball and cross on the top. The interior of the Cathedral is very
beautiful. It is full of monuments. The most important, perhaps, is the one dedicated
to the Duke of Wellington. After looking around you can climb 263 steps to the
Whispering Gallery, which runs round the dome. It is called so, because if someone
whispers close to the wall on one side, a person with his ear close to the wall on the
other side can hear what is said. But if you want to reach the foot of the ball, you
have to climb 637 steps.
As for Christopher Wren, who is now known as “the architect of London”, he
found his fame only after his death. He was buried in the Cathedral. Buried here are
Nelson, Wellington, and Sir Joshua Reynolds.
