Cathedral of St. John the Baptist - (912) 233-4709 223 East Harris Street

Allow about 15 minutes for self-guided tour.

The Cathedral of Saint John the Baptist is the oldest Roman Catholic Church in Georgia. Twin spires with chiming bells rise high above this French Gothic cathedral, seat of the Diocese of Savannah. Dedicated in 1876, it was destroyed by fire in 1898, then rebuilt from the original plans of Francis Baldwin, architect. The interior is rich with Italian marble, Austrian stained glass and opulent Persian rugs. The first event of Saint Patrick's Day each year is the Mass in the cathedral; then the Hibernians head for Forsyth Park to march in a parade that is second only to New York City's. Savannah (even the water in the fountains) is green for a day. Abercorn Street at Lafayette Square.
