Steeped in royal tradition, Greenwich was the birthplace of King Henry VIII, as well as his daughters, queens Mary I and Elizabeth I. The former royal palace—now the Old Royal Naval College—is one of several buildings in the city that were designed by the renowned 17th-century English architect Sir Christopher Wren. The city is also home to contemporary structural marvels, including the Millennium Dome, or “The O2.” Built to celebrate the beginning of the 21st century, it sits along the River Thames on the Greenwich Peninsula and is the world’s largest dome.
