The Great Fire of September 1666 destroyed most of the City of London, including the medieval St. Paul's and more than eighty parish churches. The rebuilding that followed, under building regulations requiring brick and stone and with Christopher Wren designing the new cathedral and dozens of churches, was the largest planned reconstruction European architecture had yet seen.
