Kolkata, India

St. John’s Church
St. John's Church is a Georgian-style Anglican church built in the late 18th century, notable for its striking white façade and towering clock tower. It features a grand interior, adorned with intricate woodwork and a remarkable collection of paintings, including works by famous artists of the time, which serve as a testament to the colonial history of Kolkata. Visiting offers a peaceful respite from the city's hustle, making it best experienced in the early morning or late afternoon. The church is situated near the historic Kolkata Mint and the vibrant streets of Chandni Chowk, providing a glimpse into the city’s rich architectural heritage. The audible silence inside contrasts sharply with the lively street sounds outside.
