The Savannah Historic District is one of the largest National Historic Landmark Districts in the country and attracts millions of visitors for its remarkable range of 18th and 19th century architecture and green spaces. Some of the most important buildings here are the Telfair Academy of Arts and Sciences (one of the South's first public museums), the First African Baptist Church, Temple Mickve Israel (the third oldest synagogue in America) and the Central of Georgia Railway roundhouse complex (the oldest standing pre-Civil War rail facility).

The Cathedral of St. John the Baptist is a Roman Catholic cathedral and the Mother Church of the Roman Catholic Diocese of Savannah. This stunning piece of French Gothic architecture was twice rebuilt in the period of twenty years during 19th century after being destroyed by fire. Its interiors are a classical work of Renaissance architecture and are characterized by stunning decorations over marble railings, floors, altar, and murals.

The Forsyth Park is one of the oldest parks in America. This 19th century park once used to be a fashion icon of the city due to its huge cast-iron fountain, and this central feature hasn’t changed despite a few restorations in the park. Aside of its historical value, one should visit this park on St. Patrick’s Day to see the fountain being lit up in green color to celebrate the city’s profound Irish identity. This park has also featured in some notable movies like the Longest Yard (1974) and Cape Fear (1962).
