Kostely v Saint John

Historic Churches

Saint John’s religious landscape is defined by the twin white towers of the 19th-century St. John’s Cathedral and the striking modernist octagonal design of Holy Family Cathedral. The city’s spiritual history is deeply tied to the Moravian missions, such as Spring Gardens, which played a pivotal role in the education of enslaved people. From grand Anglican cathedrals to historic village churches, these sites showcase a mix of Baroque, Neo-Gothic, and contemporary Caribbean architecture.
