Cathedral of St James

This oldest Anglican cathedral in the Commonwealth, outside the UK. Originally built by the Spanish in approximately 1520, it was one of the first ecclesiastical buildings established in the New World. During the English takeover the chapel was destroyed. The British, in the early 18th C, constructed an Anglican church on the foundations of the old Spanish chapel. Over time they renovated and expanded the building and, in 1843, it became the first Anglican Cathedral built outside of Britain.
