Saint John's Cathedral

This historic Anglican cathedral stands as one of Antigua's most significant religious and architectural landmarks, offering visitors a glimpse into centuries of Caribbean heritage. The cathedral has undergone extensive restoration work, including a complete roof renovation completed in 2012 that maintains its pristine appearance. Three magnificent stained glass windows grace the sanctuary over the High altar, with the central east window depicting the Crucifixion of Christ flanked by the Blessed Mary and Apostle St. John the Divine. The cathedral features meticulously restored period elements including an impressive brass candelabrum returned to its original 1740-1886 appearance, elegant chandeliers, and brass lanterns that illuminate the sacred space. Located in St. John's, the cathedral showcases the Arms of the Diocese and memorializes the Right Reverend D.G. Davis, the first Bishop of Antigua. The restoration project, supported by generous donors including the Mill Reef Fund, has preserved intricate architectural details from pew boards to chapel floors, making it an essential destination for those interested in Caribbean religious history and colonial architecture.
