Citadel Square is easily identifiable as a church. Even without the cross, the steeple itself (a tapering octagonal prism) would lead you to identify it as a house of worship. Why a steeple? (1) To dominate the surroundings. (2) To draw the eye towards heaven. (3) To provide height for the church bells. (4) To establish the social status of the congregation. [2007]
