Best of Saint John

Saint John’s historic landscape is defined by its colonial defenses and religious architecture. This selection features 18th-century British fortifications like Fort James, known for its well-preserved cannons, and the hilltop ruins of Fort Barrington. The city’s spiritual heritage is represented by the twin-towered St. John’s Cathedral and the modernist, octagonal Holy Family Cathedral. For a deeper look into the island's past, the Museum of Antigua and Barbuda showcases national history within the city's oldest used building.
