St. Mary’s Church: 1680s Architecture & Fort St. George Quiet

4.8 (166)

Step inside the oldest Anglican church east of the Suez for a break from Chennai’s humidity and chaos. The three-foot-thick walls keep it surprisingly cool while you check out the weathered tombstones and silk-draped altar. Give it 30 minutes, or pair it with a Georgetown heritage walking tour to actually understand the colonial history surrounding Fort St. George. Don't miss the 17th-century 'Last Supper' painting; it’s the real highlight here. Skip the midday sun.

Address: Shankar Road, Fort St. George, Chennai, Tamil Nadu, 600009
