St. John's Cathedral, Roman Catholic cathedral in East District Chiayi, Taiwan.
The religious edifice features a functional architectural design from the mid-20th century with clean lines and modern elements throughout its structure.
Completed in 1958, St. John's Cathedral became the mother church of the Roman Catholic Diocese of Chiayi, following Pope John XXIII's decree in 1962.
The cathedral serves as the central hub for Catholic worshippers in Chiayi, hosting regular masses and conducting religious ceremonies for the local community.
Located at 62 Minchuan Road, the cathedral maintains regular opening hours for prayer, worship services, and welcomes visitors throughout the year.
The cathedral underwent several structural reinforcements following natural events, including the 1964 Baihe earthquake and multiple typhoons.
