St. Mark's Cathedral, the oldest Anglican
Church under the governing body of the Church of South India (CSI) is
situated on Mahatma Gandhi Road. Founded in 1808 and completed in 1812,
the church was consecrated by the Bishop of Calcutta in 1816. Modelled
on St. Paul’s Cathedral of the 17th century and built in a beautiful colonial
structure, the church is having an elegant dome over a semicircular chamber.
It was rebuilt in 1927 and the new structure is known for its stained
glass work. The notable features of the church are the well maintained
external bells and Roman archers along the walls. Its entrance has elaborate
woodwork and ornate carvings coupled with majestically done ceilings and
domes.
