Savannah's Historic District is one of the largest National Historic Landmark districts in the United States, known for its unique urban plan of 22 squares surrounded by historic homes, churches, and museums. Visitors can stroll along cobblestone streets under live oaks draped with Spanish moss, exploring landmarks like the Cathedral of St. John the Baptist and the Mercer-Williams House. The district's grid layout, designed by founder James Oglethorpe, makes it easy to navigate on foot. With its blend of Southern charm, rich history, and vibrant arts scene, the district offers endless opportunities for discovery.
