St Francis Church Fort Kochi

St Francis Church Fort Kochi Photos & Images

The Portuguese explorer Vasco da Gama died in Kochi in 1524 when he was on his third visit to India. His body was originally buried in this church, but after fourteen years his remains were moved to Lisbon. The Church was declared a protected monument in April 1923 under the Protected Monuments Act of 1904.

As a protected monument, it is under the jurisdiction of the Archaeological Survey of India but is owned by the North Kerala Diocese of the Church of South India. It has services on Sundays and commemorative days. On weekdays, it is kept open for visitors.
