St. John the Baptist Church, Medieval church in Cardiff city centre, United Kingdom.
The stone structure features a central four-stage tower faced in grey limestone ashlar, with details in buff colored Dundry stone and Perpendicular Gothic elements.
The church, originally built in 1180 as a chapel for St Mary's Church, was reconstructed after Owain Glyndwr's rebellion in 1404 during the fifteenth century.
Regular Sunday Eucharist services and community celebrations bring together people of different ages and traditions in this Grade I listed religious building.
Located next to Cardiff's Covered Market and shopping district, the church opens daily from 10:00 AM to 3:30 PM with Sunday services at 10:00 AM.
The church houses an 1894 organ built by Henry Willis, which received a Grade I Historic Organ Certificate from the British Institute of Organ Studies.
