Church of Saint Francis

Built in 1503, by a group of Portuguese Franciscans friars this is India’s first European Church. The church was initially a wood and mud structure dedicated to St Bartholomew. Vasco da Gama was buried here in 1524. Although his remains were taken back to Lisbon 14 years later, his tombstone remains intact.

Chinese fishing nets - Cheenavala in Malayalam - are believed to have been introduced in Kochi by Chinese explorer Zheng He, from the court of the Kubla Khan. The fishing nets were established on Kochi shores between 1350 and 1450 AD. The huge cantilevered Chinese fishing nets droop towards the waters like over-sized hammocks have become a hallmark that represent Fort Kochi on the tourist map.
