The official date of opening of the Cathedral is October 20, 1708 — birthday of architect Rena (the day he turned 76 years old), but the actual service at the Cathedral commenced on 2 December 1697. Before commencing construction, the Ren actually had three completely alter the project. The first project intended to build on the Foundation of the burned-out fourth Cathedral new big Church. This project was rejected almost immediately — apparently the authorities wanted something more grandiose. The second project involved the construction of a Church, having in view the plan of a Greek cross. This project was worked out in detail — suffice it to say that up to the present time preserved is executed in scale 1:24 layout of this Cathedral, which today is exhibited in the Cathedral of St. Paul. However, this project was also rejected as too radical. The third project of Ren involves the construction of a rather large Church with a dome and two towers with belfries. This project was approved, and in June 1675 the construction work began. However, soon after king Charles II re-claimed for the project and ordered changes, which he described as decorative. These decorative change was a large dome, made to St. Paul's Cathedral one of the biggest London attractions. It is generally accepted that the dome of the Cathedral was very similar to the dome of St. Peter's Basilica in Rome.
Under the dome there are three galleries: the internal whispering gallery and exterior stone and Golden gallery. Whispering gallery owes its name not provided by architects, especially its acoustics: a word even spoken in a whisper, at one end of the gallery, repeatedly reflected its walls, causing a murmur could hear people on the other end of the gallery.
In the steeples of the Cathedral are 17 bells, 13 of them in the North-West tower and 4 (including the bell Big Paul (eng. Great Paul) and Large Volume (eng. Great Tom) — in the South-West tower.
