Located at the heart of the city, the cathedral is a magnificent colonial style structure. The white walls, the coloured glass windows and the Indo-Gothic architecture makes this place one of the most visited ones on a trip to Kolkata. The mass halls and the altar is peaceful and one can enjoy a little slice of solitude here. The gardens are well maintained and the complex also comprises of a library and some museum artifacts.

St. John's Church, originally a cathedral, was among the first public buildings erected by the East India Company after Kolkata (Calcutta) became the capital of British India. It is located at the North-Western corner of Raj Bhavan, and served as the Anglican Cathedral of Calcutta till 1847, when the see was transferred to St. Paul's Cathedral. Construction of the building, modelled on St Martin-in-the-Fields of London, started in 1784, with Rs 30,000 raised through a public lottery, and was completed in 1787.
