The Archbishop of Sri Lanka's Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Colombo resides at St. Lucia's Cathedral. The cathedral is situated on 18,240 square feet of ground in Kotahena, which is northeast of Colombo. It has its roots in a modest place of worship constructed under the Dutch period.
A statue of the Madonna and Baby Jesus known as "Our Lady of Kotahena" was presented to the parish in 1938. Every year in the month of May, a procession carries this monument through the streets of Kotahena. The cathedral is regarded as Sri Lanka's oldest and biggest parish cathedral. It is named after and devoted to the virgin and martyr saint Saint Lucy. The front is embellished with seven sculptures and supported by large Ionic columns. The cross on the concrete lantern atop the cathedral's dome may be seen silhouetted against the sky.
