    Which Australian city is known as "The City of Churches" and what is the reason for that?

    Question #105619. Asked by armindasantana. (May 16 09 4:18 PM)

    		Adelaide - The state of South Australia (of which Adelaide is the capital city) was the only one in Australia founded purely by free settlers. These free settlers had strong traditions of religion which they brought with them from their own countries, and particularly, the freedom to practise their own religion and form of worship: this was especially the case for the German settlers. Many large and beautiful churches were built in and around Adelaide, and still stand today.

    		The large number of churches in Adelaide has led the city to develop the nickname City of Churches.

    Adelaide was cited as being a "city of churches" in the New York Times Sunday Crossword on August 21, 2005, and August 28, 2005.
