Strategy

The Holy Site is one of the first districts available, along with the Campus. It is indispensable if you intend to found a Religion! The Holy Site is the only early game source of Great Prophet Great Prophet points (along with the Revelation Policy), which you need to earn a Great Prophet. Next, a Religion can only be Founded in a Holy Site! The alternative way to Found a Religion - building the Stonehenge Wonder - may not be viable in most cases, as it requires access to Stone and racing against other players to complete it.

But the Holy Site remains important throughout the game. First, it is a major source of Faith Faith; second, it is the place where you built the Special Religious buildings from Worship Beliefs; third, it is the place where you can Purchase your Religious Units. And it also provides bonuses during Theological combat for these units. And it also Heals them! All of this means that any player who considers using Religion in the game should build Holy Site Districts. In later eras, your Faith Faith will be important for purchasing Naturalists and Rock Bands, both important for Cultural Victory.

The best place for this District's Faith output depends on your proximity to Natural Wonders and what Pantheon you found, particularly the Dance of the Aurora, Desert Folklore, or Sacred Path. While it can be easy to sacrifice a single tile of a Natural Wonder for a Holy Site, proper placement with one of the Pantheons can net 6 Faith Faith! The next best place is between Mountains, or in the middle of Woods. In the late game you even have the option to Plant Woods with your Builders to provide additional bonuses to your Holy Sites. If you intend to use this, however, remember to leave some free space for the Woods.

Other Pantheons modify your Holy Site for other uses aside from faith generation. Divine Spark will aide in the race for a Great Prophet. God of Healing allows for your units to heal +30 when on or next to a Holy Site. And with River Goddess, Holy Sites next to a river provide +2 Amenities Amenities Amenities and +2 Housing Housing Housing.

Remember, only one worship building can be built in one particular Holy Site, and you cannot change your choice once it is built even there is a religious change of hands in the city afterwards, so make wise choices.
