    You can start at the main altar to see the 16th century frescoes and then walk to the side chapel where the original pulpit sits. A quick stop at the old bell tower gives a good view of the surrounding town. If you have a few extra minutes, the nearby St. Joseph’s Church on the same street is another 17th century landmark worth a quick look. Afterward you might grab a coffee at Hotel Aida, just a kilometre from the church. TravelIndiaDeals may earn a commission if you book through this link.
