St. John’s Cathedral

Located on the south side of Belize City at the end of Albert Street is St. John's Cathedral, one of our last stops we made with Aunt Roberta.  St. John's Cathedral is the oldest Anglican Cathedral in Central America and one of the oldest buildings in Belize.  The main structure was built between 1812 and 1820 by slaves with bricks brought over as ballast in the hulls of British ships.

St. John's has regular church services, and while we were touring, the Cathedral was being set up for a wedding.

It was great to see St. John's Cathedral, as it is an important part of Belizean History.
