Description and is it worth visiting

St. Sebastian Church in Negombo at sunset

The amazing architecture of St. Sebastian Church inevitably attracts the attention of any tourist, especially since it is located very close to the tourist area. The tall spires and facade design look amazing. In front of the building there is a large area where believers gather in the evenings during the evening service. It's calm inside and you can rest a bit by sitting on a bench. The window openings inside are decorated with colorful frescoes, the altar is quite simple. To the right of the building, a "Golgotha" with Jesus on the cross has been recreated.

Overall, this place is worth visiting, and it's simply impossible to miss it during a visit to Negombo.

During the terrorist attack in April 2019, another church with a similar name was affected, which is located outside the tourist area and the city.
