Cathedral of St. John the Baptist Reviews

The cathedral is beautifully decorated but not anything revolutionary. Also when we visited the lady at the greeter desk was quite rude and disinterested, sitting on her phone the whole time.

It was beautiful! Different beliefs or not, that building is beautiful!!

Beautiful historic church with amazing architectural details both inside and outside.

Just to visit, the cathedral was beautiful and worldly. The floors are evidently from Austria, the station of the cross series was from Germany. The people there were very were informative about the history of the church and construction.

Absolutely the most gorgeous Basilica I have ever seen!

The docent who gave information was very helpful. Beautiful place.

Please be respectful when entering the cathedral. They allow their doors to be open in return for our respect of the building.

Tha Cathedral was beautiful with the architecture and stain glass windows. They had a latin mass too.

Very beautiful. Need to stop in and look at all the stain glass windows.

The Carhedral has immaculate grounds and a serene interior. It is an easy place to pray.

Amazing place to visit. Beautiful on the inside and out.

Spectacular!!!! An art and arquitec piece...but have to be clean

Cathedral of St John the Baptist in historic downtown Savannah, was first dedicated in 1876, rebuilt after fire in 1898, and renovated multiple times, last 1998-2000.
It is very beautiful from outside and inside, with stained glass windows, and wall paintings and statues. The Altar is also very beautiful and tasty decorated.
It is open to all. Tourists can visit for free. $3 is suggested but not required. Do not miss it if in Savannah.

Such a beautiful church. I was so glad I was able to see it especially at this time of year and during these difficult days.

so beautiful! inside the church was very solemn... very nice architecture of the church...

Gorgeous cathedral. The inside and outside were breathtaking. I felt immediate relief and calmness walking inside. Everyone is very polite and helpful.

Beautiful. Also was given history by a volunteer. Great bonus.

Beautiful doesn't serve this church justice please swing by and donate to keep this beautiful architectural wonder alive.

Breathtaking restoration of one of the most beautiful cathedrals on the East Coast.

Beautiful church with a lot of history, its a must to visit when you are in Savanah.

Absolutely stunning. We arrived right before mass was starting, the staff was very friendly and let us sneak in for a quick couple of minutes.

A very beautiful church. This is one of the great historical gems in Savannah. The stained glass windows and detail in the church are spectacular.

Absolutely gorgeous! Don't miss going inside! No photos can do this place justice.

This is the most beautiful church I have ever visited. The detail is more amazing than any picture could show. You have to visit here when you go to Savannah. I couldn t help but praise the Lord as I walked in and thank Him for allowing me to see and step foot in this beautiful church.

Breathtaking cathedral, worth parking a few blocks away and walking to attend mass. The Baptismal fountain when you enter is stunning. We were blessed to visit around Christmas and the church was beautifully decorated. Be sure to visit the cemetary a few blocks away, there are some beautiful figures and a memorial to the unborn.

Impressive architecture and historic building and artifacts. Beautiful interior.

A most see on your visit to Savanah. Beautiful place and great history.

The structure and the art inside the cathedral definitely inspires devotion

There is something about a great ancient structure that transcends history, that transcends religion. This cathedral is among the oldest buildings in the already ancient city that is Savannah, and regardless of your personal religious or spiritual affiliation it is abundantly clear that the beauty of this building is something that not only can but should be appreciated by as many people as possible. Admittance to the interior of the church is technically free, although donations are encouraged. I would encourage anyone with the opportunity to bear witness to the pure beauty and magnificence of this centuries-old building, regardless of whether or not you share the specific religion or even regardless of whether or not you have the ability and desire to donate the recommended amounts. In short, this is one of the most magical buildings in one of the most magical places in the country.

Beautiful place side and out. They were doing organ practice while there. A man there told there are three thousand pipes to that organ.

One of the most beautiful churches in the country. Amazing contruction, we were stunned by churches beauty.

Absolutely STUNNING. The architecture, the windows, the art, everything! The parishioners were so friendly and open to assisting with any questions.

7:30 am mass was beautiful, touching and right to the point of loving our brothers!

Large temple, free entrance, beautiful stained glass windows.

Stunning, will bring you to tears. A must visit in Savannah

Beautiful Historical Church. Free Parking can be quite difficult but there lots and pay meters.

We didn't get to see the inside, but it was a beautiful church.

Words don't do it justice. Sublime and holy space. If near Savannah, you MUST see.

Huge beautiful church, they do destination weddings, must see in Savannah

Phenomenal. There's so much intricate artwork! Absolutely beautiful. It is definitely a must see!

What a majestic sight to behold. We came around the corner, after walking a few blocks from River Street, and did not expect to be as wowed as we were. Even my two little girls were in awe of the church. Unfortunately, there was a service going on, so we didn't get to go inside. Maybe next time.

You can feel the reverence of the sacramental setting. Awesome history too.

I absolutely love the artwork here! Even if you are not looking to go to Church then this is a great place for tourism.

Lived in Savannah, Ga 58 years, this is one of the first place that our guests and friends want to see

An imposing edifice of concrete and stone, the wonders of this sacred place of time-honored worship are many. Paramount among them are a series of exquisitely made stain-glass windows and a series of paintings around the top of the inside of the church that are both aesthetically pleasing and divinely inspiring. A must-see for all the above reasons and more!
