英国标志性建筑 1. 圣保罗大教堂 Sallo Paulo cathedral 圣保罗大教堂最早在604年建立，后经多次毁坏、重建，由英国著名设计大师和建筑家克托弗.雷恩爵士（Sir Christopher Wren）在17世纪末完成这伦敦最伟大的教堂设计，整整花了45年的心血。圣保罗教堂另一个建筑特色，是少数设计、建筑分别仅由一人完成，而非历经多位设计、建筑师的教堂之一，目前教堂内还有一个雷恩的墓碑，上书“If you seek his monument, just look around”。 1. 圣保罗大教堂 Sallo Paulo cathedral A Cathedral dedicated to St Paul has overlooked the City of London since 604AD, a constant reminder to this great commercial centre of the importance of the spiritual side of life. The current Cathedral – the fourth to occupy this site – was designed by the court architect Sir Christopher Wren and built between 1675 and 1710 after its predecessor was destroyed in the Great Fire of London. Its architectural and artistic importance reflect the determination of the five monarchs who oversaw its building that London’s leading church should be as beautiful and imposing as their private palaces. 1. 圣保罗大教堂 Sallo Paulo cathedral 2. 大英博物馆 British Museum 大英博物馆又称不列颠博物馆，位于伦敦牛津大街北面的大罗素广场，是世界上历史最悠久、规模最宏伟的博物馆之一。这座庞大的古罗马式建筑里珍藏的文物和图书资料是世界上任何一个博物馆所不能比拟的。 2. 大英博物馆 British Museum The British Museum is a museum of human history and culture in London. Its collections, which number more than 7 million objects, are amongst the largest and most comprehensive in the world and originate from all continents, illustrating and documenting the story of human culture from its beginning to the present. The museum is a Non-Departmental Public Body sponsored by the Department for Culture, Media and Sport. “The wonders of the museum brought here to Bloomsbury from all around the worlds imagined corners are numberless. How can they be named? As well tally each leaf of a tree. They come here out of the living minds of generations of men and women now dead – Greek and Assyrian, Aztec and Inuit, Chinese and Indian – who have conceived and carved and hammered and tempered and cast these objects to represent the worlds around them, visible and invisible. ” 2. 大英博物馆 British Museum 3. 白金汉宫 Buckingham Palace
