St. Francis Church

Apart from being a major Christian holy place, St. Francis Church in Ernakulam is historically significant since it is where the legendary explorer Vasco da Gama is buried. It is an architectural wonder, built by the Portuguese in royal style with Dutch and Portuguese elements.

The gabled timber-framed roof, confession box, baptism platform, and pulpit continue to mesmerize visitors. It tells various stories about the ancient world and its spiritual existence.
