St John the Baptist Cathedral, Sligo, Anglican cathedral in Sligo, Ireland.
The Cathedral of St John the Baptist features a Roman-influenced design with a spacious interior supported by stone columns and arched walkways.
German architect Richard Cassels constructed the current cathedral building in 1730, making it the oldest structure in continuous use within Sligo Town.
The cathedral contains a brass memorial near the pulpit dedicated to Mary Butler Yeats, and the marriage of W.B. Yeats parents took place here in 1863.
The cathedral maintains regular worship services and welcomes visitors throughout the summer season, with guided tours available upon request.
The graveyard contains a specific type of clay that transforms bodies into Adipocere instead of allowing normal decomposition processes.
