"Natives and visitors alike will appreciate the history and residents of this beautiful city. With its architecture, palm trees and cobblestone streets, Charleston is one of the South's great cultural destinations. But don't let the city's beauty hide its turbulent history. The horrors of bombardment and occupation by conquering armies have left their marks. The city has experienced bleak times and disasters, including fires, a devastating earthquake and hurricanes, not to mention the challenges of Reconstruction."
