What Place of Worship is the Oldest?

AAA State of Play can help you find out which church is the oldest in the world with this illustrated infographic featuring images of the world’s oldest churches along with fascinating historical facts.

The world’s oldest church is either Megiddo Church or the Pantheon. The Pantheon was built as a temple to Roman gods in the year 25, then later converted to a Catholic church in 650 AD. Many people might consider it the oldest church.

However, if we look at the oldest building built with the purpose of being a church from construction, then the answer is Megiddo built in 230 AD. Today it exists in ruins on the grounds of Megiddo Prison in Israel.
