About Santhome Basilica
After the sculpted towers of Mylapore, the white neo-Gothic facade of Santhome changes the look of the walk. The Catholic basilica is tied to the tradition of the burial of the Apostle Thomas, the reason for its importance as a pilgrimage destination.
Check whether a service is under way before moving around. The small museum presents information about Thomas and local history; the tomb chapel depends on access conditions. The church serves its congregation, so adjust your pace and take photos only in authorized areas.
