Saint John's, Capital city and port on northwest coast of Antigua, Antigua and Barbuda
Saint John's extends along a protected harbor with numerous fishing boats, multiple commercial districts, and white baroque towers of the Anglican cathedral.
The settlement originated in 1632 as a British colonial outpost, developing into a naval base that supported military operations throughout Caribbean conflicts.
The Museum of Antigua and Barbuda displays regional artifacts, including materials from indigenous peoples, colonial times, and maritime discoveries.
Heritage Quay and Redcliffe Quay provide docking facilities for cruise ships, with direct access to shopping areas offering local products and duty-free items.
Two medical universities, the American University of Antigua and University of Health Sciences Antigua, operate within the capital's educational district.
