Top 10 Churches & Cathedrals in Charleston, South Carolina (SC)
Historic Charleston is bursting with Southern charm and hospitality. The city feels a bit like it’s suspended in time, thanks to its antebellum architecture and surrounding plantation landscapes. Take in incredible views of the Battery and the French Quarter as you stroll the Waterfront Park, then become inspired by the cultivated beauty of the gardens at Middleton Place. At night, try a ghost tour for an introduction to the spooky side of the city.

This quaint early 18th church is a treasure of colonial architecture with wonderful grounds to walk about. Constructed in 1706, this church is the oldest surviving church structure in South Carolina. Definitely worth a visit when in the area.

Charleston's oldest church has been tolling its bells on the hour since 1764. Dynamic Downtown Worship in the Anglican Tradition
Reviewed By yellowstone1 - Williamsburg, United States
We went from our hotel, French Quarter Inn (great hotel and I would most recommend this place but it is expensive but you get a lot for the price) actually we were on a private tour and Linda stopped to let us see this holy place and we were able to enter the sanctuary and see the Tiffany glass windows and the pulpit and the pew where George Washington attended services.

This is a very beautiful Catholic Church in downtown Charleston. One is allowed to visit. Though the statues were covered, the stained glass was wonderful.

This is the Must-See Church in Charleston. Interesting exterior architecture and a simple but beautiful interior. Its history is literally written on its walls.Only one that invited people to enter. Docent was helpful in providing a brief history. Particularly note the plaque of the number of Presidents of Huguenot descent Don't forget to leave donations!!!
9. Circular Congregational Church

Reviewed By WC-Travelers-75
A stop on our walking tour. Different architecture than any other building we saw in Charleston. Very old cemetery with tales to tell. We did not go in the church. Worth 10 or 15 minutes of your time in Charleston.
10. Cathedral of Saint Luke and Saint Paul
