Old North Church, officially known as Christ Church in the City of Boston, is a historic landmark located in the North End neighborhood of Boston, Massachusetts. Built in 1723, it is the oldest standing church building in Boston and played a crucial role in the American Revolution. The church is famously associated with Paul Revere's midnight ride on April 18, 1775, when two lanterns were hung from its steeple to signal that British troops were advancing by sea, initiating the battles of Lexington and Concord. The iconic phrase "One if by land, and two if by sea" originated from this event.
