Santhome Cathedral Basilica

Further down south on Marina is the Santhome Cathedral Basilica. According to the legends, one of the Apostles of Jesus Christ - St. Thomas, in his mission to spread Christianity in Asia, came to Chennai soon after Jesus was crucified. He lived and preached in St. Thomas Mount and later took asylum in the caves at Little Mount. He was assassinated and buried there. This Cathedral has been built on his burial site.
