St John's Cathedral 聖約翰座堂

It was the second time I sketched this handsome building.  Hidden behind Cheung Kong Park in Central, St John's Cathedral was the first Anglican church built in Hong Kong. The site of St. John's Cathedral is the only freehold land in Hong Kong which was given to the Anglican church permanently.

座落於長江公園後，聖約翰座堂於1847年奠基，1849年落成及祝聖，為香港最古老的西式教會建築物，亦係本港唯一一片以永久業權形式持有的土地（Freehold）。
