- Church of Saint Francis - St. Francis church was initially built by the Portuguese in 1503 as a Catholic church dedicated to St. Bartholomew. Later the Dutch converted this into a Protestant Church rededicating it ot St. Francis. Subsequently the British made it an Anglican Church and it remains so to this day. This Church stands mute testimony to the Eurpoean colonization and its effects on this region. Vasco da gama, the discoverer of Sea Route to India, was buried here when he died during his third visit in 1524. But later his remains were moved to Lisbon. Apart from all the tombstones gathered over centuries, the church also still retains the old hand-operated pankhas (fans) that were used earlier.
