St John The Baptist City Parish Church

A few minutes’ walk from Cardiff Castle this church is in the middle of the central market area is the only per-medieval church in the city center I believe. One can’t miss it walking down Church street. I did not go in, but from the outside one can see some beautiful stain glass windows. Again, coming from the states …Wow a church built in 1180 and still active. The area has everything shopping, restaurants, pubs, historic sites. A weekend would not be enough time to see and visit everything in Central Cardiff. I post some picks along the avenues around the church

A very beautiful and ancient church. I was at morning prayer, I will definitely come again.

A lovely 12th century Church in the heart of Aberdare. A beautifully simplistic exterior and interior and a blessing to us all. A great part of our heritage.

Very central and beautiful church with its cleaned exterior tower. Looking forward to the new cafe in the north aisle. Good open community

St John's Parish is a Medieval church dating back to 1400s and is one of the oldest structures in the city centre other than Cardiff Castle. It's a beautiful building from the outside with a tall steeple and aesthetic stone facade. There is a small garden attached which is nice to sit and think. The interior steals the show though. Wonderful examples of stained glass windows on all sides of the buildings. With alters, organs, pews, stairways, and beams it's a visual feast. It's just a short hop from Queen Street so if you're in downtown Cardiff then consider popping in
