Depicted beautiful St. Peter and St. Paul Chapel, a part of former Greenwich hospital and later Royal Naval College built in 1742, has Baroque exterior and stunning Greek revival (Classicism) interior.

Monumental complex of the Old Royal Naval College, built originally as a Royal Hospital for Seamen, belongs among the most imposing works of the leading Baroque architect of England - Christopher Wren. In the architectonic complex with four main buildings called "courts" (King Charles Court, Queen Mary Court, Queen Anne Court, and King William Court) you can find several beautiful inner spaces - the most visited of them are the Painted Hall and the hospital's St. Peter and St. Paul Chapel.

St. Peter and St. Paul Chapel, a part of Queen Mary Court, was also designed by Ch. Wren - but finally was completed 19 years after his death in 1742. Chapel' present interior dates from 1779–1789, when it was rebuilt to a design by James Stuart after a devastating fire.

Date the Church was built, dedicated or cornerstone laid: 01/01/1742
