	Wren was inspired by contemporary Renaissance trends in Italian architecture, and designed the cathedral in a restrained Baroque style, attempting to combine the traditions of English medieval cathedrals with the classical style of Inigo Jones, and French buildings by Mansart. The cathedral, in particular the dome, is heavily influenced by St. Peter’s Basilica in Rome.
