Christ Church
Dating back to the 18th century, Christ Church continues to hold worship services.

Wherever you're staying, many activities can be found that are within walking distance. Start in Old City, with the town's legendary past. This part of Philly is rich in history yet packed with contemporary charm. After heading north on Second Street and crossing Market Street, you will notice Christ Church. Built between 1727 and 1754, its burial ground at Fifth and Arch Streets is home to the graves of such historic tenants as Benjamin Franklin and his wife, Deborah.
