What to do and see in Atlanta, Georgia (GA): The Best Sacred & Religious Sites

August 12, 2021 Alice Mieles

Atlanta has been dubbed everything from the "capital of the new South" and "the next international city" to "the best place to do business." It's also a great place to visit. Fueled by the prosperity of local mega companies like Coca Cola and Holiday Inn, the prestige of hosting the 1996 Summer Olympic Games and the energy of young upwardly mobile types who have migrated to the city in droves - Atlanta is on fire. And this time it's a good thing. From world-class restaurants and a myriad of cultural attractions to a hip nightlife and sporting events galore, the city is cosmopolitan in every sense of the word. But Atlanta has also managed to maintain its historic character. Stop by the Atlanta History Center or visit the Martin Luther King Jr. Historical Site, a moving tribute to an American icon. Browse through the former home of famous author Margaret Mitchell or pop into the Jimmy Carter Library and Museum for details on the life and times of the former president and his family. Whether you choose modern urban endeavors or old southern pleasures, Atlanta will not disappoint.

Ebenezer Baptist Church of Atlanta

This sanctuary became a spiritual haven for civil rights activists when Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. served as senior pastor in the 1960s. On the self-guided audio tour, King's inspirational sermons will take visitors back in time, while the new Horizon Sanctuary across the street is home to the present day congregation, highlighted by its traditional tabernacle choir.

Come in, sit down, listen...and truly feel...the words of a great orator and leader! This is American History--it is truly a part of what makes this country genuinely great.

Cathedral of Christ the King

Reviewed By twistabout - Ellijay, United States

Researching for a church on a recent trip to Atlanta brought this beautiful Cathedral into our lives. It was so pretty inside and the pews were stacked with people, all singing and praising God. It was so memorable with lots of families and young people, which we do not have in the north Georgia Mountains. I would highly recommend this spiritual spot.

The Basilica of the Sacred Heart of Jesus

Reviewed By Sam2007E - Atlanta, United States

Me and my family were staying in a hotel across the street, so, we decided to attend mass, the priest was very kind to us when we asked a few questions. I highly recommend this church, and even more if you want to become parishioner.
