Overview

A haven of tranquillity in the middle of Cardiff's busiest shopping area, St John the Baptist Church dates back to the 12th century and it still plays an important part in the life of the city today. The church tower was renovated in 1897. With magnificent views over the city, it features a minstrel's gallery and a set of ten bells. Inside the main part of the building, take a look at the beautiful stained glass windows, a carved oak screen and the pipes of a 19th-century organ. The tea shop is open most days.
