[India/Chennai] A precious cathedral that only has three in the world✝️

Chennai, India, is home to one of only three precious cathedrals in the world.

《Santhome Cathedral Basilica》

Built in the 16th century, it was rebuilt in the 17th century in the current neo-Gothic style.

The pure white cathedral and the large red cross are distinctive.

The cathedral is built on the tomb of the Apostle Thomas, a direct disciple of Christ.

There are only three cathedrals in the world built on the tomb of an apostle, making it a very precious place.

I was surprised to find that there is a precious Christian site in India. 🍀

There is also a museum behind the cathedral.

📍Address: 38, Santhome High Rd, Santhome, Mylapore, Chennai, Tamil Nadu 600004, India

🕰️Opening hours 5:00-20:00
