What are the names and locations of specific temples (and other religious sites) in Sigil?

What are some of the named temples mentioned in Planescape material and their locations in the city? I'd like to know where (for instance) Grummush, Corellon, etc. have their churches located, for the benefit of PCs might wish to visit and or/ vandalise said sites... and if a street name is given, all the better. I know Apollo's got a temple somewhere in there, and I'll take any gods you got... thanks!

There's always the Temple of the Abyss in the Lady's Ward.

Hope you can't hear the bell tolling...

Hermes has a temple in the Lady's Ward - not much detail on it except that there's an erinyes priestess there called Mad Moll who's posing as a mural painter.

The Lady's Ward is where half the city's temples are found. In the Cage mentions temples to (and proxies of) Ptah, Io, Brahman, Muamman Duathal, Baravar Cloakshadow, Koriel, Diancastra, Zivilyn, Daragor, Shang-ti, Corellon Larethian, Gruumsh, the Lords of the Nine, Odin, Moradin, Garl Glittergold, Primus, Maglubiyet, and Zeus all somewhere in that ward.

The Temple of the Abyss is in "the heart of The Lady's Ward" and the Temple of Hermes is somewhere in The Lady's Ward as well; there's a portal to Mount Olympus in it.

The Planar Handbook, page 142, says "Down the street stands a faithful reproduction of an Abyssal palace, and tucked into a nearby alley is a white marble shrine to Pelor." No street name is given, but if the reproduction of the Abyssal palace is the Temple of the Abyss, that would place it in The Lady's Ward.

Brix's Guide to Sigil has more temples named, including the Spiral Cathedral, the Temple of Celts, the Temple of Titans, the Zen Garden, and Godswatch.

I'd never seen Brix's before. The Mimir is so big!

I really like the Spiral Cathedral and Ning Gable's door.

There are shrines to Bahamut, Tyr, Athena, and Osiris in the Tower of the Prophet in The Lady's Ward (Expedition to the Demonweb Pits, page 24).

And of course Kingdom of the Ghouls features a temple of Sehanine known as Passion's Rendezvous, also found in The Lady's Ward.

Some temples seem to be as powerful as the factions in Sigil.
