St. Philip’s Church

With its tall steeple, St. Philip’s Church is easy to spot. It was first built in the late 1600s, but the current building dates back to 1838. The church is known for its beautiful design and for being the final resting place of some of America’s founding figures, including signers of the Declaration of Independence. Sailors once used its steeple as a guide when sailing into Charleston Harbor, showing just how important it has been to the city for centuries.
