Photos - Santa Cruz Basilica Church, Fort Cochin





Fort Cochin, as in Goa, has a large Catholic population. Santa Cruz Basilica Church is one of the oldest Churches in India. It was built by the Portuguese  in 1505 but was destroyed by the British, as was many other beautiful buildings, in 1795. It was re-built in 1905.
