Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

The church is situated next to the Campbell park, in between Wesley College and Punchi Borella. Very calm and quiet during weekdays but very busy during Sundays. The church is very well maintained and it is very miraculous. If you trust and pray you will receive. Parking is available, must visit for the faithful when in Colombo.

The place is built as per the Gothic architecture and a beautiful church located at Borella.
The windows are decorated with glass Mossaics which are telling stories of the Christ.
There is also a souvenirs store.

Love this church since it has tremendous familial sentimentality and value for me. It's a great place to view the Mother of Perpetual help stain glass replication and say a special prayer. We attended a Tamil service there, where the priest sang the entire mass in Tamil in a most skilled and wonderful manner. The church was filled with parishioners, children and nuns. This is truly a place of prayer and contemplation.

It is one of the most unnoticed landmarks of the area. Though it is hidden among legal offices and the other ancient buildings, this church has a history of 145 years. In 1815, there was a seminary at the place where All Saints' Church is situated now. The Public Works Department (PWD) built this Church in 1865 according to a plan made by J. F. Churchill, who served the country as a 'civil engineer' at that time.
"The consecration of this church was held on November 01, 1865 on All Saints Day. This was more a family church during colonial reign," said Fr. Felician Ranjith Perera, Parish Priest of All Saints' Church, Borella. "Two famous families of the time Obeyesekeres and Bandaranaikes were the trustees of the church," he added. According to Fr. Ranjith Perera, All Saints' Church was built under the Episcopal Ordinance.
Later in 1998, it was brought under the ordinance of Churches Ceylon. In keeping with the Gothic architectural style, All Saints' Church is absolutely a work of art.

This was one time the tallest Church built in the Hill, this is situated at Hulftsdorp Colombo 12 It is at a walking distance from Colombo central bus stand. Just in front of Court complex (where the superior courts, High court, District Court and Magistrate courts are situated.)
This was originally a seminary in 1815's , somewhere in 1860's this church was constructed by British engineers.
This is very calm and beautiful place, Roof and ceilings are very tall and beautiful you should spent little time to admire this architecture. It is simply beautiful and tall.
In the morning times of working days you may find it difficult to go the doorstep by vehicle due to traffic arrangements to the court complex but short distance you can walk across. Entry free and no other fees involved
