For someone who loves visiting churches, every drive to the Chennai Railway Station has got us stealing a glance of this beautiful church, right in the heart of Santhome. One of Chennai’s most famous pilgrimage spots, the Santhome church was built above the tomb of Saint Thomas, way back in the 16th century by the Portugese. Many of Chennai’s heritage walks include a stroll around this world famous church, which is full of old world charm and comprises the best of Neo-Gothic architecture. We visited during an early morning walk to Marina Beach and we think the shrine is a blissful place for Sunday masses or just appreciate the glorious architecture.
