Review:
Located in the Mylapore neighborhood of Chennai, the Santhome Cathedral Basilica is not only an important site for Christians in this South Indian city, but throughout the country and the world beyond as well. The basilica is thought to be one of just three basilicas anywhere in the world to be built over a tomb of one of the direct Apostles of Jesus Christ. Constructed by the Portuguese back in the year 1523 and becoming a cathedral later in 1606, the Santhome Cathedral Basilica features a neo-gothic architecture style and was raised to a “minor basilica” status in 1956.
