Known as the “Holy City,” due to the prominence of churches on the low-rise cityscape, especially the numerous steeples that dot the city’s skyline. In addition it was also one of the few cities in the original thirteen colonies to provide religious tolerance to the French Huguenot Church and is the only city in the United States with such a church today. History does not stop with churches. Charleston also serves as the site for the start of the Civil War at Fort Sumter. Although the city was heavily destroyed during the Civil War and its aftermath, the city has been on a steady program of preservation and restoration since the end of World War II.
