This view of part of the Charleston skyline contains two of the major steeples in town -- St. Michael's Church on the right and the Cathedral of St. John the Baptist on the left. The Cathedral's steeple (actually called a "spire") was added in 2010 (although the building opened in 1907), making it almost 250 years younger than St. Michael's.

Holy City Skyline

This view of part of the Charleston skyline contains two of the major steeples in town — St. Michael’s Church on the right and the Cathedral of St. John the Baptist on the left. The Cathedral’s steeple (actually called a “spire”) was added in 2010 (although the building opened in 1907), making it almost 250 years younger than St. Michael’s. A definite generation gap.
