Church of St. Francis


As today was Good Friday there was a church service going on in the place of worship, so I did not get to stroll through the large old building built in the 16th century. The Portuguese navigator Vasco da Gama died in Kochi in 1524 and was buried in the cemetery, where you can see his gravestone, - although his remains were taken to rest in Lisbon in 1538.
