An exhaust gas purifying catalyst for use in an internal combustion engine includes a porous monolithic carrier, a catalyst coating layer formed on a surface of the monolithic carrier and containing a catalytic material capable of purifying exhaust gases, and a palladium-supporting layer formed in the catalyst coating layer at a location close to an exhaust gas inlet end of the monolithic carrier. Palladium is distributed at a high concentration in the palladium-supporting layer.

In a method of manufacturing an exhaust gas purifying catalyst, a carrier of heat-resistant alloy steel containing aluminum is initially prepared as a metallic carrier. A first alumina slurry containing fine particles of hydrated alumina and water is then coated on the surface of the metallic carrier and is in turn dried and calcined so that a first alumina layer may be formed on the surface of the metallic carrier. Thereafter, a second alumina slurry containing gamma-alumina particles, hydrated alumina and water is coated on the surface of the first alumina layer and is in turn dried and calcined so that a second alumina layer may be formed on the surface of the first alumina layer.
