OVERVIEW
Visit historical attractions and architectural gems that tell the story of Saint John and reflect how it has changed over time. In 1785, Saint John became Canada’s first incorporated city, and a few decades later, the stunning Cathedral of the Immaculate Conception was built in Gothic Revival style, a significant landmark and place of worship in the city. The Great Fire of 1877 destroyed much of Saint John and the rebuilding took decades, the reason there are so many architectural styles downtown. After the fire, the Trinity Anglican Church’s current structure replaced an earlier church that had stood on the same site since the late 18th century. The City Market narrowly escaped that fire, and its Second Empire Loyalist design offers a glimpse into the building styles of the late 1800s. Enjoy free time here and explore its vibrant atmosphere and local offerings. Additionally, experience the natural wonder of Reversing Falls, where the Bay of Fundy’s powerful tides collide with the Saint John River, creating a breathtaking phenomenon.
