Santhome Church, also known as St. Thomas Cathedral Basilica, is a prominent Roman Catholic church located in the city of Chennai (formerly known as Madras), Tamil Nadu, India. It is situated in the Santhome neighborhood near the Marina Beach, along the southeastern coast of the city.
The church holds great historical and religious significance as it is believed to be built over the tomb of St. Thomas the Apostle, one of the twelve apostles of Jesus Christ. St. Thomas is believed to have arrived in India in the 1st century AD and spread Christianity in the region.
The current structure of Santhome Church dates back to the 19th century. It was originally built by the Portuguese in the 16th century and was later rebuilt in neo-Gothic architectural style by the British in 1893. The church is known for its stunning white facade and towering spires.
