St. John's Cathedral

Local nameSt. John's Cathedral
LocationPinar del Río, Antigua and Barbuda

St. John's Cathedral also known as the St. John the Divine, the Cathedral Church of the Diocese of North Eastern Caribbean and Aruba, is an Anglican church perched on a hilltop in St. John's, Antigua and Barbuda. It is the seat of the Diocese of the North East Caribbean and Aruba in the Church in the Province of the West Indies.

The present cathedral with its imposing white twin towers was built on a fossilized reef, in 1845, and is now in its third incarnation, as earthquakes in 1683 and in 1745 destroyed the previous structures. The iron gates on the south face of the church are flanked by pillars displaying Biblical statues of St John the Divine and St John the Baptist. They were reportedly taken in 1756 from a French ship destined for Martinique.
