8. St. John's Anglican Cathedral

This lovely old building, one of the few typically British structures in the city, is surrounded by well-kept green lawns. In 1812, the slaves in Belize helped to erect this graceful piece of architecture using bricks brought as ballast on sailing ships from Europe. Several Mosquito Coast kings from the Waiki tribe in Nicaragua and Honduras were crowned in this cathedral with ultimate pomp and grandeur; the last was crowned in 1815.   (© 10Best)
