Day 1 · Apr 12, 2026

A plain, whitewashed Portuguese-era church that doesn't look like much from outside but carries real history — Vasco da Gama was buried here in 1524 before his remains were later moved to Lisbon. Worth the ten minutes it takes to see, especially paired with a walk through the surrounding colonial-era streets.
India's oldest European-built church, dating to the early 1500s, and the original burial site of Vasco da Gama. #StFrancisChurch #FortKochi #KeralaActivities
