Savannah, GA is known for its charming and historic architecture, beautiful scenery and enchanting atmosphere. But beyond that lies a deeply spiritual side of this city that makes it all the more captivating. From hidden sacred places to quirky religious details, there is much to explore and discover.
One mustvisit location in Savannah is St. Johns Church (325 Bull St). This church has been around since 1853 and holds a lot of historical significance as it was used as a hospital during the Civil War. The stained glass windows are absolutely breathtaking and add an element of mysticism to this already stunning church.
For something a little offbeat but equally mystical, check out Bonaventure Cemetery (330 Bonaventure Rd). While cemeteries may not be everyones idea of spirituality, this one has an eerie yet romantic nature about it with Spanish moss hanging from tree branches over elaborate gravestones.
Another spot worth visiting is Ishmael Temple No. 1 (1908 Martin Luther King Jr Blvd), which houses the Prince Hall Masons who have played an important role in African American history dating back to the early 19th century. It offers visitors deep insights into how religion helped shape politics and society here.
If youre looking for somewhere peaceful amid the hustlebustle of downtown Savannah then head over to Wesley Monumental United Methodist Church (429 Abercorn St). As soon as you step inside youll feel transported away from everything going on outside with its soothing ambiance and quietness perfect for contemplation or simply unwinding after exploring town all day long!
Finally, take some time to visit Congregation Mickve Israel Synagogue(20 E Gordon Street)which illustrates the rich Jewish heritage still thriving here today in Georgia; those architectural elements will leave anyone mesmerized by their uniqueness within Americas South.
From churches to cemeteries, Savannah is filled with spiritual and religious gems that are waiting to be discovered. Be sure to explore these sacred locations on your next visit.
