Portraying a wonderful blend of Tuscan-Corinthian exteriors and Doric interiors, the Church of St Monica is simply stunning. Said to be the one of the oldest nunneries in India, this three-storied laterite building was destroyed by a fire in 1636 and rebuilt the following year. Within the convent lies the Museum of Christian Art which displays striking works of art such as the Donna Maria de Corm.
