Only surviving gate
The Temple Bar is the only gate to the City of London to survive the passage of time. Next to the Cathedral of St Paul's, it was built in 1672, during the reign of Charles III, to replace the previous one, destroyed after the Great Fire of London in 1666. Designed by Sir Christopher Wren, the architect who built the cathedral of St Paul's, and built by Joshua Marshall and Thomas Knight.
