Located in the heart of Mysore, St. Philomena’s Cathedral is one of India’s most majestic landmarks. Built in 1933, it is renowned for its stunning Neo-Gothic architecture, inspired by the Cologne Cathedral in Germany. Its twin spires soar 175 feet high, dominating the city’s skyline.

Inside, the church features beautiful stained-glass windows depicting scenes from the life of Christ and a marble altar housing the relics of Saint Philomena. The cross-shaped floor plan and serene atmosphere make it a masterpiece of both faith and design. It remains a powerful symbol of Mysore’s secular heritage and architectural brilliance.
