The Church of Our Lady of मिराक्लेस
This is also known by the name of St Jerome's Church. Located on St Jerome's road, the history of the church can be traced back to the year 1594. It was during this year that the church was first built. Thereafter, numerous reconstruction work have been carried out in the church. The last of such work was done in the year 1961, when a devastating fire caused immense harm to the church building. The church has some interesting architectural elements to grasp your attention like the gabled facade. However, the popularity of the church is more because of its feasts. There are two feasts organised in the church - the first one is dedicated to Our Lady of Miracles and is held on the third Sunday after easter. This feast is equally important for Hindus as well because the church, it is believed, stands on the spot where earlier a temple stood. The second feast is dedicated to St Jerome and is organised in the month of October.
