city churches
Metropolitan places worship
City churches are urban houses of worship, often historic structures that remain standing as neighborhoods transform around them.
The phrase commonly refers to churches in central business districts or old town centers, where congregations have sometimes dwindled as populations moved to suburbs: The city churches of London survived the Blitz but struggle now with empty pews.
