| The Basilica of the Sacred Heart of Jesus |
One of the benefits of being in the Bible Belt is the beautiful architecture of so many churches...unique, each and every one.
The Basilica of The Sacred Heart of Jesus (photo) is no exception to that rule. However, it does have one rare quality most other churches do not. It's located in downtown Atlanta, the heart of the whole of the South.
Founded in 1880, this particular church holds a number of distinctions, including: being entered into the National Register of Historic Places in 1976, a visit by Mother Teresa of Calcutta in 1995, and being elevated to the dignity of minor basilica by His Holiness Pope Benedict XVI in 2010.
ATLANTApix and ATLANTAvidz of the tourATLANTA blog features a daily photo or video relative to Atlanta. Come back tomorrow for a new one!

I've never seen inside. Any pictures?
Hi Terry! I have not been inside either and did not see anything about tours on their website. Maybe a next year's Phoenix Files...
