It serves as the seat of the Catholic Diocese of Saint George (Dioecesis Sancti Georgii). The building is located atop a hill overlooking the harbor, and is one of the most important symbol of the city. In the place where it is now a small chapel existed previously completed in 1804 and dedicated to St James. The Gothic cathedral tower dates from 1818.[5] The cathedral was completely finished in 1884.[6]
The church had to be rebuilt because it was damaged after Hurricane Ivan in 2004. The church decoration is simple compared with European Catholic cathedrals.
