St John's Cathedral is the Anglican cathedral of Brisbane, located in the city's central business district. Its Gothic Revival architecture features pointed arches, ribbed vaults, and flying buttresses, all constructed from local sandstone. The interior boasts beautiful stained glass windows, a carved stone pulpit, and a grand organ. Visitors can attend services or explore the cathedral's peaceful atmosphere. The building is notable for being one of the few cathedrals in the world built entirely from stone, including the roof. Its spire rises 80 meters, making it a prominent city landmark.
