St Mary’s Church

Visit St. Mary’s Church, a cornerstone of Negombo’s ‘Little Rome,’ which is renowned for its neoclassical architecture dating back to its groundbreaking in 1874 and completion in 1924. The church stands as a fusion of European and Sri Lankan artistry, with its ceiling’s alabaster depictions of saints and unique life of Christ paintings by famous local Buddhist artist N.S. Godamanna. Beyond its religious significance, the church is a historical tapestry, embodying the rich cultural interweaving of faith and local heritage.
