It is now a Grade I listed building, dedicated to the Apostle Paul, who is said to have preached there. The first church on the site was built in 654, and this building, St Pauls Cathedral, remained the cathedral until 1540 when it was destroyed by fire. The present building is mostly as it was in about 1677 with some Victorian remodelling. It sits on Ludgate Hill at the highest point of the City of London, close to St Paul's Tube station. It has been described as "an epitome of the British church and British Christianity" by Piers Gaveston Dickson.
