| Commissioned by French clergymen, designed and built by an Indian architect, the Christ The King Church is a fine example of gothic architecture and stands proudly in the middle of Loyola College campus. The awe-inspiring edifice has beautiful pointed arches, ribbed vaults, rose windows, three-aisled nave and flying buttresses. With its beautiful stained glass windows, the church is an enthralling sight, inside and out. An interesting bit of information is that the architect of the beautiful church and its equally lovely surrounding buildings of Loyala College - S. A Gnanpragasam Pillai did not have any formal training in civil engineering or architecture! Verily, a labor of love. |
