Sir Christopher Wren is a name that instantly conjures images of soaring spires, intricate domes, and some of the most iconic buildings in London. Born in 1632, Wren was not just an architect—he was a polymath, equally at home with mathematics, astronomy, and anatomy. Yet it’s his work after the Great Fire of London in 1666 that cements his place in history. Tasked with rebuilding a city in ruins, Wren transformed the skyline, blending classical grandeur with innovative engineering. St. Paul’s Cathedral stands as his crowning achievement—a testament to vision, resilience, and genius. But behind the sketches and blueprints was a man driven by curiosity and ambition, navigating a world of science, art, and politics. This is the story of Sir Christopher Wren, a builder of dreams and a master of the skyline.
