The Oldest Church in India


The Oldest Church in India
By 24thcentury on 12th July, 2006.
Originally founded by the Portuguese, then used by the Dutch, and finally taken over by the British, the inside walls have gravestones in three different languages. Services are still held regularly in English and Malayalam.

Trivia of the day: Vasco de Gama was burried here for 14 years, before his remains were returned to Lisbon.
