ANTIGUA St. John’s is the capital and commercial ABOUT THE CITY centre of Antigua. The population is of about 22,000 and the city features a combination of contemporary and historical attractions.
At the Museum of Antigua and Barbuda one can find an interesting perspective of the nation’s history from 10,000 years ago to the present. The Cathedral is dominated by twin towers at the west end and provides a distinct baroque flavour. Two St. John’s Anglican Churches already stood on the site of the present cathedral. The first was built of wood as early as 1681, The second was constructed with English brick about 1720 when the first fell in disrepair and became too small. After over a century, the church was elevated to the status of a cathedral when the Diocese of Antigua was created in August 1842. In modern times the edifice has been cited as “the most imposing of all the Cathedrals of the West Indian Province”. Restoration of the St. John’s Cathedral is now ongoing. Among the other must-see attractions are the Antigua Recreation Grounds, Prince Klass Monument, the War Memorial (known as the Cenotaph) and the Westerby Memorial. St. John’s provides a number of distinctly diverse shopping opportunities. Heritage Quay overlooking St. John’s Harbour is a duty-free area and offers everything from fine cigars and spirits to fragrances to artwork, leather goods, China, crystal and a variety of designer labels in clothing and jewellery. Redcliffe Quay, adjacent to Heritage Quay, features a number of local colourful boutique styled dining and shopping locations. SECTION 03 | ESSENTIAL MEDIA INFORMATION 22
