Theme: Cities Named After Saints
Each of these cities carries a saint's name straight into its founding story. São Paulo honors Saint Paul and grew into South America's largest metropolis, while St. Petersburg is actually named for Saint Peter rather than any tsar. San Sebastián on Spain's Basque coast and Saint-Tropez on the French Riviera both became chic seaside draws, and Sankt Moritz in the Swiss Alps turned its sainted name into a byword for alpine glamour.
