St.Mary's Cathedral is a 150 year old church located in the heart of Madurai. The majestic structure has two bell towers, bright blue and whitecolours and the beautiful Roman architecture. The interior is nice and well maintained and the windows are bright stained glass ones. This is close to the palace and worth a visit

Its one of the oldest cathedral, originally built by the sailor's community. The archs and domes are beautiful with Belgian glass windows. Worth the visit!

St Mary's Cathedral stands majestically at E Veli St, Mahalipatti, Madurai. You can't miss its facade of white and blue lining with two 42ft towers housing the church bells. Built as a small Chapel in 1841, it went through many construction amalgamating impeccable various architectural styles such as European, Continental and Roman and in 1969 acquired the status of Cathedral.
The tranquility of the church is surprisingly serene amidst the surrounding traffic. The interior is bathed with colourful shadows from the sun penetrating the beautiful stained glass.
Without the need for aircondition, its high ceiling with bright orange vaulting allows sufficient air to keep the place cool.
A gold kodimaram ( a Hindu temple flag-post), sits within the compound.
A must see!

Typical Catholic assembly point, ornate, and at the time of the year full of Christmas garbage. The internal Christmassy decorations seemed to be totally over the top for even Catholics! All mumbo-jumbo to me.

It's a pretty old Portuguese church. Looks quite majestic, and is quite well maintained. May go if you have time.

The bright colours and cool breezes (no AC but open windows with cross breeze!) amazed me. Interesting to see a different style of church than in the west.

This place is like any other churches in India. Nothing special to see. One can visit if they are interested.
