St. Paul's and St. Peter's churches (Father Jerome)
23° 5.9′ N · 74° 57.8′ W · approximate
Two twin-towered white churches on the hills of Clarence Town, both designed by the architect-priest John Hawes (Father Jerome): St. Paul's from his Anglican years and Sts. Peter and Paul after he became Roman Catholic.
Practical
Position is approximate, placed in the centre of Clarence Town between the government dock and the OpenStreetMap town node; both churches are within walking distance of the dock. Stella Maris Resort suggests climbing the steeple of St. Peter & Paul's. Bahamas.com and Wikipedia describe both as historic must-sees. Dress modestly if a service is on.
