Built in 1874, it took 50 years to create this exquisite existence. The main body is a typical Roman Catholic church building in beige color. When you enter the courtyard, you will feel the solemn atmosphere of the church. There are also old people begging for you. There are no tourists. Several crows circle in the air, adding to the loneliness. The atrium is a dancing blue sutra, beside which there is a sacred god. Walking to the church door, I heard that the murals inside were exquisite, but I could not help but see the obvious hint that photography was forbidden, those wearing suspenders and shorts were not allowed to enter, and religious believers were scattered in the church. I had to look at the tall dome and colorful glass windows in their strange gaze. On a sunny day, it would be wonderful to hear a prayer singing in it.

    St. Mary's Church is a particularly beautiful Catholic church and the surroundings are also very good. People here hold weddings. Most will choose to be held here at St. Mary's Church, which is also a local landmark historical building.

    One of the most famous attractions in Negombo is actually an ordinary church, next to it is very empty, plus the air is transparent and the sky is very blue, the photos taken are particularly beautiful, the church is completely free, it is worth seeing

    The picture on Trip.com is wrong. The name of the church on the picture is St. Sebastian's Church, and it is on sea street. The Church of Santa Maria is in another place. The church that navigates the past according to the address given on the Internet does not match the picture. So I also found it for a long time.

    It was unexpected that there was such a large church in the small area of Niganbu, which was built by the Dutch. The church is being repaired. The door on the second floor of the tower is locked. It is not convenient to take a panoramic view. Outside the church there are crows under the big trees. In Sri Lanka, crows are divine birds, which is the opposite of China.

    算尼甘布小镇的一个景点吧。世界上这个名字的教堂不少。我们抵达尼甘布才午后,为了等待第二批驴友抵达,我们要在这里呆上2天,除了泄湖附近也没有地方看,就在大街上随便走走,无意中找到这个地方。里面没啥人,非常安静,教堂不大,但我想到礼拜天会热闹一些。随意看看,也算在尼甘布走了一个景点。尼甘布一般都是作为背包客下飞机后的中转地,毕竟离机场非常近。
