St Mary’s Cathedral Tours

Say a prayer, bow your head and maybe even light a candle in St Mary’s Cathedral. This splendid religious building may not always be open, so check ahead for times if you'd like to see inside.

This principal church is in Jaffna, a destination that has loads going for it! Sri Nagavihara International Buddhist Centre, Jaffna Clock Tower, and Nallur Kandaswamy Kovil are other popular attractions not far away when you've finished up at St Mary’s Cathedral.

8.4/10 Very Good! (5 reviews)
Peaceful & relaxing with a beautiful beach & safe swimming. The Garden Villas were delightful & the staff genuinely friendly with good service standards. There is a lifeguard on duty who is both informative about sea conditions & the wildlife around. The birdlife is stunning. Only one small quibble in that the inner pool area could do with a bit of a clean.Other than that all good & would certainly recommend.
