The book is a historical and architectural survey of the Catholic churches of the Kalpitiya peninsula which is located in the North-Western province of Sri Lanka. While analysing in detail the historical evolution of art and architecture of the centre of devotion of the peninsula; the St Anne’s Shrine, Talawila, it also traces the diversity of design in other churches of the peninsula. The book also narrates the often turbulent history of the unfolding and institutional growth of Catholicism in the Kalpitiya peninsula.
