Charleston Churches and Cathedrals
(Charleston, South Carolina - SC, USA)
There are countless churches peppered around the city of Charleston, with a number of important places of worship standing out in particular. St. Philip's Episcopal Church is of great note and resides within the French Quarter, where it is close to the Dock Street Theatre and the Rainbow Market Shopping Centre.
Also of local significance and situated on King Street is St. Matthew's German Lutheran Church, sandwiched in-between Marion Square and the College of Charleston. Especially historic is the Unitarian Church, which is now registered as a National Historic Landmark and dates back to 1772, although its construction was not completed until 1787, due to the arrival of the Revolutionary War (1775 to 1783).
