The Secluded Church is a Roman Catholic religious building and a mythical location found in Grand Theft Auto: Vice City.
Description[]
The church is located in the southwestern region of Washington Beach. The particular building wasn't known to be a religious institution until a search of the game files found otherwise.
The Secluded Church was confirmed to be a church in-game, but the reason for its seclusion is still unknown. Because the church has the look of a normal building, it took over a decade to find out that it is actually a church. It was revealed from the internal files of the game.

This church, unlike others in the GTA series, doesn't feature any towers or naves, but was built on a considerable scale and occupies a large area including an alley. Organ music can be heard from the church, between 10:00 and 11:00.
The church has the infamous hexagram engraved on its stained glass window. A hexagram is a frequently used symbol in many religious sects, so it isn't that surprising.
The creature known as Demonical Outcast is rumored to be lurking around the Alleys behind the area.
