Santa Cruz Basilica in Kochi

Santa Cruz Basilica is a Roman Catholic Church in Fort Kochi and one of the eight basilicas in India, making it an extremely special location for tourists.

They visit the Basilica to admire the architectural structure. The architecture resonates with the classic Gothic architecture that can be seen in many Roman countries. The ancient Roman culture amidst all the Indian buildings adds a special charm to it. The Church is approximately 500 years old and has a rich history, all of which began with the Portuguese settlement in southern parts of India in 1500. To express a sort of gratitude, the King of Cochin granted Portuguese viceroy, Dom Franciso de Almeida, the permission to have the Church built. Later, in 1558, the Church was exalted to the status of a cathedral. As of today, it is one of the 8 limited basilicas in the country. It is open to tourists from 9 am to 1pm and then from 3 pm to 5 pm. The best season to go to the Santa Cruz Basilica is from October to March. It is one of the celebrated locations in Kochi and a must-visit too.

    Mitali's 5 days trip to Kochi

    The agent messed up with the hotel booking in Munnar and were trying to portray that I was the cruel person for questioning them on why the booking was not done even after extra payment for the desired room. The hotel that was provided last minute did not have a proper food options and as i was travelling with senior citizen parents it caused a lot of problem as the property was in the interior. Yet i was being portrayed as cruel for raising my voice against this issue

    Rakshaupadhyay's 6 days trip to Kochi

    I booked my trip from Book It forget it. The overall experience was fine. But, few things needs to be improved. Their coordination with the hotel reservation managers was not up to the mark. I made a special request for cleaning the rooms which were not followed in 2 hotels out of 4. Hotels were also okay not best.

    Senthil's 3 days trip to Kochi

    We had a very good time with Family and everything was well organized. Right from booking, pick up from Airport, visiting places and travelling to other locations etc was excellent experience. Also, big thanks to Namaskaram travels for making it as a seamless experience

    Senthil N Bangalore

    Dhruv's 7 days trip to Kochi

    Had a great experience and very good trip. Everything booked and planned as per the final itinerary. Our drive was very good and humble but Kerala being a more of wild natural place so he could have been more adventurous. Saying this bcos we wanted to go to Top Station in munaar to see sunset or sunrise and hotel staff and other drivers suggested that it’s very safe route but our driver told it’s dangerous bcos of elephant presence on the route and he won’t go and so we have to drop that location. Also driver should be more enthusiastic and suggest good shopping (spices etc) and other hidden gems rather he was more interested in taking us to shopping and activities where I think the commission was arranged. But other than this he covered all the places in itinerary and was very polite through out the trip. Had a great trip and lot of memories.
