If you are Catholic or non-Catholic please set time in your schedule to stop by the Cathedral. You need to see the finished renovations. Im absolutely in love with the ceiling. They nailed it! Not that it was bad before, but seriously a 10/10 on the hard work. Walk around the inside of the church to see all the beautiful stain-glass windows. (Side-note: my absolute favorite moment of the year here is Midnight Mass on Christmas Eve. You must experience this once in your life).

The architecture in this building is absolutely stunning. Believe it or not, the inside is even more beautiful than the exterior. This is a must-see in Charleston!

The stained glass was mesmerizing and I simply stared in wonder longer than I realized. Almost an hour slipped by and I was super later to an appointment. Just dropped by and got lost in the art. Recommend doing the same. but its not something to add as a quick stop. If you like art, then give yourself at least 30 minutes and make it a Zen thing. Take your time! The stations of the cross are also incredibly detailed works surrounded by woodworking so intricate, that Im not sure our society could do it anymore. (i.e., other end of the spectrum from IKEA!!)

Very nice church for embrace peace, prayer and worship

This remarkable place was cool, quiet, and peaceful. Just what we needed. Magnificent ceiling.

The Cathedral of Saint John the Baptist is a beautiful and historic church in the middle of Charleston. It has an awe inspiring interior with arches and stained glass windows. I really like being able to visit and attend services at this church. This is a great church overall.

We went to the solemn sung Mass at 11:15 and it was so incredibly reverent and beautiful. I cannot wait to come back to celebrate Mass here again one day.

Very interesting textured brick work on the original building. They added on in 2009 to finish the tower. Very interesting. Would love to go back and tour the inside.

I love the architecture of this church. It is a little unique compared to the other wonderful unique churches you see in Charleston. The inside has the white intricate altar that seems typical of other John the Baptist churches that I’ve seen and is quite beautiful. The staff is wonderful and friendly. I wish all these churches had more attendance because everything is so wonderful and designed to lighten peoples hearts

Beautiful church, the stained glass windows were quite exquisite.

Beautiful! Would love to buy a book about the stained glass windows.

Beautiful cathedral worth visiting. It’s free to visit. If you take a horse tour, you get to learn about that the steeple is not original and was only built several years ago.

One of the most beautiful places to visit and find peace in downtown Charleston.

This place was beautiful•stained glass windows•gothic interior•bell tower

Big and beautiful art glass. Priceless architecture, awesome work in the ceiling.

An amazing, historical church not to be missed. The beauty cant be conveyed in photos.

The Cathedral is a magnificent church. The interiors stained glass windows,the stone floors and the beautiful pews and wood work mark this gem as a must see in Charleston. Upon entering the sense of peace is immediate and you may feel the presence of God. It is one of the most lovely churches in Charleston. Also visit the Diocese chapel on Orange Grove Road in West Ashley.

Beautiful church inside and out.

Nice place to reflex on our lives

This is a really beautiful cathedral in a area of Charleston that isnt really near anything else. To be honest, it was really nice to go in for some air conditioning after having walked outside in the heat for a long time. Air conditioning aside, the inside is beautiful... They are also planning a renovation to make the decor closer to what it used to look like. Now, everything has been painted white. There is a section where you can see what it will all look like when completed. I wouldnt necessarily go out of your way to see it, but its in a beautiful area with lots of other things to see and would be worth stopping in.

Went to mass several years ago. It was very beautiful service. The choir was awesome. The only thing is that we had to park a couple of blocks away and walk. We walked past yesterday but didnt have time to go inside. Its a very beautiful church.

Beautiful church

Beautiful church. Well maintained and welcoming to everyone wanting to visit. The streets are a little dicey around the area because of the very old beautiful trees. Be careful some areas of sidewalk are ankle breakers.

The Mass with choir is amazing. It is very warm and welcoming to parishioners, visitors, and tourists. Be sure to take the tour for the history lesson.

Wonderful and beautifully ornate.

It is simply spectacular !

This is s beautiful church! Breathtaking! God definitely lives here!!

Absolutely fabulous! Beautiful interior and during my visit the organist was playing which added to the ambiance.

Amazing!!

Lovely building. Bad sound system for mass. It echos & reverberates around the large space & its very hard to follow at mass. There are also giant columns in the way so choose your seat wisely if you want to see whats going on in the front

Cathedral is under renovation. Had Mass in the basement. Mass is always good!!

A wonderful sacred space for peace, prayer, worship and community.

Beautiful. Wish I could have gone inside

All the stars for God and the Blessed ever virgen. I would like the sound of the microphone be more clear. I almost never can understand the homily. Thanks.

Nice cathedral and mass. Not too crowded. Undergoing a painting upgrade from the original.

Gorgeous cathedral with truly great, traditional services. Highly recommend the solemn mass at 11am on Sundays - very classy with the wonderful choir in full force.

Very beautiful and very traditional with a Mens Choir and high mass with incense.

This majesty church is my favorite place!

Beautiful church!

Awsome. Beautiful. Did not go inside.

Most beautiful stainned glass . A sacred place to pray

The building is beautifull and the Mass is very espiritual

Beautiful church, A+ priest.

I love the older churches. There seems to be more reverence during mass. Monsignor Broveys services are always good.I did have someone chatting during almost every silence before and during the mass last night but that is unusual. The crying child happens but that I can usually tune out.The bathrooms are downstairs but not accessible from inside the church. You must go out the front door, turn left, and go down the side of the building. About halfway down there will be a door and the bathrooms are inside in the 1st left hallway. There are 2 and I dont believe they are designated.

This a beautiful church and the heart of our catholic community!

Beautiful cathedral thats open to the public, most days. Definitely go check out this 118yr young house of God and be moved.

Beautiful church. there is entrance charges

Trustworthy community and beautiful cathedral. Jesus is present!

Very traditional (architecture) Roman Catholic church. Excellent choir. Built with Connecticut brown stone.

Beautiful building, and so wonderful that it is open to the community.

Its beaitiful and the pastor is traditional and orthodox.

Best and oldest church in downtown

Beautiful Church and full of history.

Beautiful Mass only made more so by the beauty of this Cathedral!!

Beautiful architecture, great in the evening with lights from inside shining through the stain glass windows.

A beautiful cathedral got to go to noon mass when I was down there cant wait to go back and to enjoy mass again

Beautiful cathedral that needs a little updating

Very Holy place

So glad I walked in on a whim! Beautiful!

While I have only had the opportunity to attend mass twice at this Cathedral, it is perhaps one of the most heavenly/beautiful cathedrals Ive been to. The tall ceilings, beautiful stained glass windows, and Gothic style is an experience I promise youll never forget.

Very impressive church.

An absolutely beautiful Cathedral.

Charlestons Unique Architectural Steeple.

A beautiful house of worship.

Really pretty church. Open most the day. If you are on this end of town stop in. It is worth a good look.

Good tourist spot

It closed so early!

Beautiful church.

Good historic place

With beautiful architecture, a great priest, and a steeple that can be seen from all around town, it is hard to beat St John the Baptist. Its wonderful to have a diocese where the effort shows in every church.
