| St Francis Church. Supposedly India's oldest European-built church. Originally constructed in 1503 by Portuguese Franciscans. It changed hands a number of times - Dutch and British - and is presently used by the Church of South India. Vasco da Gama, who died in Kochin, was buried here for 14 years before being repatriated to Lisbon | |
