Cathedral of St. John the Baptist Reviews

Absolutely stunning. If you get the time to stay for mass I definitely recommend it.

Nice. Took picture way more than posted. Sat down for a bit and just soaked in the views.

What a beautiful cathedral. It is so majestic with its tall ceilings, stained glass windows, bright light that shines through the windows and all the carvings that surround the church. We went to the 11:30 mass and what a beautiful mass. The organ played and the choir sang. The music just resonates throughout the cathedral. There is so much to see and take in while you are sitting there. Great place for prayer and solitude. You look around you and it's hard to believe the history of the survival of this church and what it had to endure to rebuild in order to serve its people.
Great historic site.

Great tour by Bobby! Lot of history in the church, especially of Catholics in Georgia.

This is a mind-blowlingly beautiful building, inside and out. I had to just sit down in a pew and take the evening sun in as it shined through the stained glass windows

You can only go into the sanctuary, and there are about 900 signs asking for donations. The space is beautiful though, and the organist played well.

Spectacular!!!
Just stunning!!!

Ok the best thing about religion is the architecture. Fantastic ecample

Beautiful architecture, colors, design and a lot of tourist visitors.

I love the place the church remind me of the one I attended back home.

Absolutely beautiful inside. Would love to attend Mass here.

Amazing and so historical! I was raised Catholic and this church should be on all visitors lists as a must see. We even went to Easter mass last year there and met a lot of locals who have attended the church for years

Just like the rest of Savannah, the catholic mother church of the area (Cathedral) was absolutely amazing a must see if you are in the area. You will not be able to see it if there is mass going on so make sure you see their mass schedule but other than that you are more than welcomed to go inside and tour the chapel.

What a gorgeous Easter Vigil. The most beautiful cathedral I've ever been in!

Gorgeous cathederal- a must see when visiting Savannah!

So beautiful! This is one of my favorite places to take people- Catholic or not. It's a must see stop in Savannah. If you get the opportunity for one of the mid day masses take it. They are about 30 mins and always so great!

Nice to visit and learn about historical importance

Nice church, very ornate and historic. Huge stations of the cross and wonderful stained glass.

Very pretty church. They don't have public restrooms which was big disappointment.

Very cool history and architecture. Fun fact, the kneeling benches are not, in fact, foot rests. It's better to find out before someone slaps your thigh.

If you are wavering on whether or not to visit the cathedral, don't miss it! The facade is imposing and interesting, but the interior is no comparison. It is simply stunning. You could spend five minutes or two hours exploring the gorgeous details of the carvings, paintings and windows. The Christmas creche is among the best I've ever seen.

The Cathedral of St. John the Baptist becomes one of the focal points for the annual St. Patrick's Day parade, which is held in Savannah on March 17th every year. There are people walking, riding in cars, army trucks, police and fire vehicles, and thousands of onlookers, too.

Beautiful Cathedral. I only saw the outside but it's incredible.

Beautiful Cathedral!! Very beautiful!! Speechless!!

As a Catholic couple getting married in Savannah we inquired to have our wedding at this beautiful Cathedral. They said their fee is $3000, plus you need to provide your own priest. Should be ashamed of themselves.

Beautiful, gorgeous church. My parents and children have always enjoyed coming here,and will continue to do so !

Attended sunday mass here while visiting Savannah. Absolutely beautiful and enjoyed fathers' sermon . Must see!

Stunning architecture and a great place to collect your thoughts. Unbelievable acoustics too.

Beautiful Cathedral! One of the top 20 in the US! History is significant! Highly recommend a visit!

Beautiful building inside and out. Your donation (no matter how small) helps maintain the building.

Lots of history and you can always try to find the original window

Beautiful. Bible passages in paints, murals, stained glass. Open to tourist. Closes from 11:30 to 12:45 due to a 12pm mass.

Absolutely a surreal experience. Such a beautiful cathedral. All the work is absolutely perfect!

Words can't describe this amazing place. You have to experience it yourself.

Absolutely beautiful! It is a must if you're in Savannah. It's very quiet and somber inside. Great experience. Knowledgeable staff of the history of it, don't be afraid to ask.

The architecture, stained glass, and statues are stunning. This is a beautiful sanctuary. A must see in Savannah. Stop in , give a donation, and see for yourself.

An amazing place to visit specially on Christmas eve for the beautiful Christmas presentation.

2 of my 3 daughters were married here, and there's no more more beautiful place for a Catholic wedding than here. It was built hundreds of years ago, and I believe burned down and had to be rebuilt in the 1850s. But like any church built before Vatican II, it is exquisitely beautiful and traditional in appearance, unlike Catholic churches that have been built since the council.

Beautiful Church rather you're just visiting or celebrating mass. It's a must see while in Savannah!

Thie is a must see if you are in Savannah. The architecture is just beautiful.

Totally worth the time to step inside and see the beautiful stained glass windows.

Beautiful church, didn't get to go inside they were having service.

This enormous Cathedral is in the heart of historic Savannah and is an exotically prayerful & powerful landmark for which to visit, admire, study, film and light a candle.

Very beautiful also for those who may want to know it has a wheelchair accessible entrance apart from the front stair one. It was very lovely. Wish all churches had the money to do be this grand. The curator told us they meant the church to tell stories from the bible to help those who couldn't read to be able to learn it. I would go here again and recommend it.

If you are in Savannah and haven't seen this go. There is a suggested donation of three dollars, but they're not going to hound you for it. They have a drop box at the entrance/exit of the sanctuary. This is not something that you have to be Catholic or even religious to appreciate.

Very nice Passion Service on Saturday vigil thank you

A beautiful place to stop in during your travels in Savannah! Gorgeous decorations during Christmas time as well.

Beautiful Roman Catholic Church, it's a sight to see. A good rest stop to admire the beauty of the church while also sitting and resting from touring the city.

Absolutely breathtaking! The outside of the church is beautiful but once you walk in the stain glass windows with religious details and just the atmosphere is gorgeous. They have real candles when doing a prayer which is a very nice touch. So much history as well it truly a gem within Savannah.
