Probably the most magnificent and prominent reminder of Chennai's colonial lineage, the San Thome Church bears a colossal amount of history since A.D. 52, the year when St. Thomas traveled to India, though the Roman Catholic basilica was built in the 16th century by the Portuguese. It was then rebuilt by the British in 1893. The imposing structure reaches a height of 155 feet and emanates peace and architectural splendor with its tall spires over the tomb of the saint. The sea makes a wonderful backdrop to the pristine white structure. The San Thome Church is considered one of the pilgrimages for people around the world.

A divine presence could be felt in this campus. A hidden historical place more important than the St. George Fort, and a long big tradition lives here. I dont know how many of the parishioners from present congregation knows the history and tradition. The cemetery in the campus shows the poor administration by the diocese . A must visit in Chennai.
