There are seven capital cities in Antigua and Barbuda. One of these, St. John's, serves as the national seat of government. Each of the parish capitals contains the parish church, while the capital of Barbuda contains the administrative offices of the Barbuda Council. Most capitals have the town status, however, Codrington is a village, Fitches Creek is an estate, and St. John's is the sole city in the country.
