    The Santa Cruz Basilica is a historic church that was built by the Portuguese.

    The church was elevated to a cathedral by Pope Paul IV in 1558 AD.

    In 1795 AD, it fell into the hands of the British when they took over Cochin and was demolished.

    About a hundred years later, Bishop Dom Gomez Ferreira commissioned a new building at the same site in 1887 AD.

    The church was proclaimed a Basilica in 1984 by Pope John Paul II.
