Fort Cochin is believed to be the oldest European Settlement in India and St Francis Church was the first European Church to be built in India. St Francis Church is a granite church set on quiet lawns amidst the bustle of Fort Kochi, 10 kms from Ernakulam. Originally named as Santo Antonio, this protestant church was originally built by the Europeans in India. Vasco da Gama was buried here in 1524 AD. Though 14 years later his mortal remains were taken to Portugal, the carved gravestone can still be seen in the church. It also has crypts of Portuguese nobles.
