Christ Church is revered both as an important historical landmark in Philadelphia and as a pioneering piece of architecture. The building that stands today debuted in 1754 and is renowned for its soaring white steeple (once the tallest building in the country), its well-preserved Georgian architecture, and its accompanying Burial Ground, where numerous Founding Fathers and signers of the Constitution are buried. Today, the National Historic Landmark is both a popular tourist attraction and a functioning Episcopalian parish.
Christ Church is a stop on numerous hop-on hop-off bus tours, history-themed itineraries, walking tours through Old City, and more. Given its proximity to other major historical landmarks, it’s also easy to visit independently.
