Indo-Portuguese Museum Kochi (Cochin)

The heritage of one of India’s earliest Catholic communities – including vestments, silver processional crosses, altarpieces from the Kochi diocese and 19th-century sketches of Santa Cruz Basilica – is on show at this thoughtfully presented museum hidden in the tranquil garden of the Bishop’s House. The basement contains remnants of the 16th-century Portuguese-built Fort Immanuel.
