Popularly called, the Afghan Church, the Church of St. John the Evangelist was set up by the British to honour the First Afghan War of 1842 and truly brings Victorian architecture to life. Apart from its rich history, take time to admire the work and the effort it took to build this Gothic Church, with lots of intricately carved statues and walls.

Covered from all sides in lush green bushes and soft red blooms, this is perhaps the only church in India which has been constructed as a memorial during the British Raj. If you love exploring Old Bombay and have an interest in architecture, exploring this church will make for a day well-spent.
