Amidst Chennai’s many places of worship, the Armenian Church was a real find. A 1712 structure which was redone in 1772, Chennai’s Armenian Church is one of the oldest in the Indian subcontinent itself and has a part of history buried in there. It is situated on the way to the CSI St Mary’s Church and emits a rustic charm right from it’s worn-down exteriors. Though located on one this most bustling streets of George Town, enter the Armenian Church and it is a different world inside. Right next to the church, you’ll find graves of around 300 Armenians and this heritage site has plenty of stories restored on its walls.
Make sure you visit before 2:30 PM on any given day.
