In one sense, every place of worship is of historic
importance, since it reflects the culture and aspirations of the
congregation that created it. Many of the places we have listed
here have special rooms or collections, or have changed their primary
function to act as museums or performance spaces. Please,
let us know if we've
missed a place of significance that others should know about. |
