St.
John’s
Catholic
Church
is
the
fine
display
of
the
architecture
belonging
to
the
British
era.
In
the
18th
century,
major
number
of
military
units
were
positioned
at
Ahmednagar,
but
there
were
no
shrines
situated
near
to
them
for
their
sacred
revival,
even
the
padre
used
to
arrive
from
Kirkee.
So
finally
the
church
was
built
by
the
britishers
for
the
soldiers.
Being
a
historical
monument,
St.
John’s
Church
is
the
major
tourist
attraction
of
Ahmednagar.
As
per
the
church
register,
the
Auxiliary
Horsed
Cavalry
were
the
first
British
army
unit
to
arrive
at
this
place
in
the
year
1817.
Later,
a
large
contingent
of
troops
of
East
India
Company
were
sent
at
the
site
by
1830
and
the
place
became
a
huge
cantonment.
In
the
church
cemetery,
one
can
find
many
graves
of
British
army
soldiers
who
were
stationed
in
Ahmednagar.
On
a
visit
to
St.
John’s
Church,
make
a
point
to
see
the
other
two
churches,
the
Roman
Catholic
Church
and
the
Episcopalian
Church.
Presently,
the
church
is
operated
by
the
Salesians
of
Don
Bosco.
The
St.
John’s
Catholic
Church
is
situated
at
Bhingar,
which
is
at
the
outskirts
of
Ahmednagar.
The
closest
railway
station
is
Ahmednagar
railways
station
(7
km)
and
well
connected
with
others
cities
through
roads
also.
And
the
nearest
airport
is
at
Aurangabad
with
110
km.
