"whenever I visit a new city invariably the first thing I explore are the local churches or cathedral. To me, they represent timelessness and stability."
I guess that impression might be easier to maintain if one is not religious or if one simply doesn't look too closely. Admittedly I'm judging by American standards, but I know of a lot of turnover in properties between congregations, and of a lot of moves of congregations from place to place. And over here plenty of the architecture is so-so Gothic revival or so-so modernism.
