Cathedral of Christ the King, Kurunegala, Anglican cathedral in Kurunegala, Sri Lanka

The Cathedral of Christ the King is an Anglican church with a central tower rising 33 meters and crowned by a bronze cross. The structure uses reinforced concrete and occupies a 1.4-hectare site at the base of Ethagala.

Construction began on 21 December 1950, the feast of St. Thomas, on a 1.4-hectare site at the base of Ethagala, funded largely by Bishop Lakdasa De Mel and the De Mel family. The chapel of the Blessed Virgin and St. Thomas the Apostle was consecrated in 1956 by Rev. Aurobindo Nath Mukherjee, Metropolitan of India, Pakistan, Burma and Ceylon. The nave, font, pulpit and lectern followed in 1960.

The interior blends Kandyan design traditions with contemporary art, particularly visible in the Lady Chapel where brass lamps and modern pieces coexist. The space shows how local artistic heritage and current creative work come together in worship.

The cathedral faces Kandy Road at the foot of Ethagala, on a 1.4-hectare site; the entrance is from the road side, with the 33-metre central tower as the landmark to aim for. The interior is entered from the nave, where the Lady Chapel and the fresco of Christ the King sit at the far end. The brass lamps, communion rails and the reproduced flags of the Disavas hang on the interior walls, so allow time to look along the walls rather than only the altar.

The interior wall displays flags of the Disavas, the traditional districts that formed the Diocese of Kurunegala, reproduced by Ena de Silva. The Lady Chapel's backdrop is a modern painting by Nalini Marcia Jayasuriya, while the fresco of Christ the King was painted by George Keyt.
