The Cathedral of St. John the Baptist on E Harris Street is a magnificent cathedral. One may see the double spires from the historic district before arrival. Upon entering the main doors inside, one is left breathless. The architecture of the cathedral, stained glass windows, and large three-dimensional stations of the cross are exquisite. The cathedral is open for prayer and reflection at times during the day. One morning when we visited, we were fortunate to hear the organist playing. No matter what one's religious affiliation, the cathedral should not be missed.

Definitely worth a visit when in Savannah. Open for mass attendance, for tours, and for just wandering through it on your own. Check their website to make sure there are no special events that cause it to be closed to the public. I got off the Trolley Tour bus stop only to find that it was closed in preparation for an evening concert. I simply returned the next day. It’s stunning and even though the public has access, everyone remains quiet when inside the basilica. I spent about 45 minutes slowly strolling through and taking photos. Many people sat in the pews for quiet reflection and some were kneeling in prayer. My only regret was not attending a mass here. Maybe on a future visit?

The Cathedral Basilica of St. John the Baptist makes for an imposing sight as you walk the streets of the Savannah Historic District, with its unique French Gothic style including several soaring spires and bright whitewashed stucco coating over the structural brickwork (particularly striking when lit up at night). The interior spaces are even more beautiful and provide a spiritual sanctuary for quiet contemplation (as you wish) and for admiring the various decorative & architectural features. This place of worship is one of the most attractive cathedrals my wife & I have seen in our travels around the U.S., and the parish staff can offer you details & insights into its history including occasional free sit-down tours describing the key features of the building. A visit should be part of everyone's Historic Savannah walking tour.

Simply breathtaking. So much pride goes into the upkeep of the church itself considering its age and location and you can see it and feel it in every detail. During Christmas the spectacular Nativity set up is worth the visit alone. A beautiful spiritual trip for our entire family.

Beautiful modern ish cathedral. Lovely stained glass, catching the sun beautifully today. Really impressive nativity scene - the best I've ever seen. However, all slightly ruined by the miserable woman stationed at the entrance shouting at people. Completely unnecessary.

A beautiful beautiful cathedral. Absolutely worth visiting. It was very peaceful, which was so nice after all, of the other touristy attractions! I am Catholic, so I may be a bit biased - but - I’d highly recommend to see the lovely architecture & relax and appreciate the silence.

We were invited to celebrate our 50th wedding anniversary along with all those 50th and 25th anniversary's from the Diosese of Savannah. This was my first visit and was awestruck by its beauty and spirituality. Guided and unguided tours are available when Masses or worship is not being conducted. The stained glass windows are awe inspiring and very meaningful to everyone especially the faithful.

I decided this second Sunday of lent to attend mass at the Cathedral while in Savannah. I’m so glad I did! The 10:00 mass was packed. When the organ began, chills went through me. Then the choir started singing, and the music was awesome. Combined with the beauty of the art filled cathedral, it was truly a moving experience for me. My simple, modest, and modern sanctuary at home pales in comparison. Every Catholic should be so lucky to attend a service in a place like this once in their life.

The Cathedral of St John the Baptist was absolutely stunning. We bought tickets for the hop off hop on trolley and this was one of the stops (although I already knew I wanted to see it). I’m not sure if they have guided tours but you can certainly walk around on your own. It’s was gorgeous.

One of the most beautiful Roman Catholic Basilicas in the USA. Built in French Gothic style, incredibly stunning. Tile from Italy, stained glass from Austria, white Carrar marble. A must-see, all are welcome for a modest $3 donation, not mandatory.
