You have many things here. St Aloysius School, Paravoor Market etc are near this place. The church is one of the oldest and beautiful one in India. They claim that this is the first church in India built by St Thomas. You have many places to see and many experiences. Be careful with the roads. They are one ways. Use Google Map to identify else you will be caught by Traffic Police for violating rules on one ways! Please hit like button if you loved this review.
