Jake’s Guidebook to Savannah
Sightseeing
Georgia’s oldest and one of the exquisite Victorian Gothic-style Roman Catholic church. The Cathedral of St. John the Baptist certainly will make your jaw drop. It calls itself one of the Top 10 historic sites to visit in the United States, and it welcomes hundreds of thousands of tourists every year. Towering spires and stained glass take your breath away, whether you’re attending a religious mass, or enjoying a guided or self-guided tours.
