St John's is the capital city of the nation of Antigua and Barbuda, a country located in the West Indies in the Caribbean Sea. St John's is located at 17°7'N 61°51'W. With a population of 24,226 (2000), St John's is the commercial centre of the nation and the chief port of the island of Antigua. The settlement of St John's has been the administrative centre of Antigua and Barbuda since the islands were first colonised in 1632, and it became the seat of government when the nation achieved independence in 1981.
The skyline of St. John's is dominated by the white baroque towers of St. John's Cathedral. The present cathedral was built in 1845 and is now its third incarnation, as earthquakes in 1683 and in 1745 destroyed the previous structures. The iron gates on the south face of the church are flanked by pillars displaying lead figures of St John the Divine and St John the Baptist. They were taken by HMP Temple in 1756, from a French ship destined for Martinique.
On Friday and Saturday mornings, there's a farmers market on the southern edge of the city, with folk crafts, colorful tropical fruits, and a buzzing crowd. The towers of the cathedral are the first sight of Antigua for about half of the island's visitors each year, many of whom arrive by boat. With its recently completed cruise ship dock, shopping centre, Heritage Quay and several hotels, St. John's is a lively hub for shopping and dining.
Just east of St. John's is the Sir Vivian Richards Stadium which is a multi-use stadium in North Sound, Antigua and Barbuda that is currently under construction. When completed in 2007, it will be used mostly for cricket matches and will host matches during the 2007 Cricket World Cup.
