About St John's

St John's is the capital of Antigua, a harbour town of low colourful buildings dominated by a twin-towered cathedral.

St John's lies at the head of a deep natural harbour on the north-west coast of Antigua. The Cathedral of St John the Divine, dating from the 1840s, dominates the town with its two towers, and the Museum of Antigua and Barbuda, housed in an eighteenth-century courthouse, tells the island's story from its first settlers to independence. Fort James guards the harbour mouth, and Redcliffe Quay has been restored from old waterfront warehouses.

Top-ranked sights in St John's: Heritage Quay, Fort James, Dickenson Bay.
