==Landmarks== There are several museums, including the [[Museum of Antigua and Barbuda]] and the Museum of Marine Art, a small facility containing fossilised bedrock, volcanic stones, petrified wood, a collection of more than 10,000 shells, and artefacts from English shipwrecks. [[Image:Cricket ground.jpg|thumb|[[Antigua Recreation Ground|St. John's Cricket Ground]]]] Just east of St. John's is the [[Sir Vivian Richards Stadium]], a multi-use stadium in [[North Sound]], that was created mostly for cricket matches, and has hosted the matches during the [[2007 Cricket World Cup]]. The [[Antigua Recreation Ground]], Antigua and Barbuda's [[national stadium]], is located in St. John's. The city's skyline is dominated by the white [[baroque]] towers of [[St. John's Cathedral (Antigua and Barbuda)|St. John's Cathedral]]. The Botanical Garden is near the intersection of Factory Road and Independence Avenue. This small park's shaded benches and gazebo provide a quiet refuge from the bustle of activity of St. John's. [[Image:AntiguaLight.jpg|thumb|Sandy Island Light]] [[List of lighthouses in Antigua and Barbuda|Sandy Island]] is a [[lighthouse]] located on a small island about 5 km off the coast leading the way to St. John's harbour. [[Fort James, Antigua and Barbuda|Fort James]] stands at the entrance to St. John's harbour, across from [[Fort Barrington, Antigua and Barbuda|Fort Barrington]]. Other fortifications on the island include [[Fort Berkeley]], Fort George, Fort Charles, and Fort Shirley ([[Shirley Heights, Antigua and Barbuda|Shirley Heights]]). [[Government House, Antigua and Barbuda|Government House]] is the governor's residence, originally a 19th-century parsonage building. It is included on the World Monuments Fund's 2018 list of monuments at risk, following exposure to severe weather events.<ref>{{cite web|title=Government House|url=https://www.wmf.org/project/government-house|website=2018 World Monuments Watch|publisher=World Monuments Foundation}}</ref>
