Built in 1787, St. John’s Church is one of the oldest Churches in Kolkata. Its 174 ft-high stone tower has earned it the nickname ‘The Stone Church’. 

Within the precincts of the Church is the tomb of Job charnock, traditionally associated with the foundation of Kolkata. Another highlight of St. John’s Church is home to 2 hundred year old exquisite painting depicting the Last Supper, by 18th-century German neoclassical artist Johann Zoffany.
