When Vasco Da Gama died at Cochin (Kochi) in Southwest India in 1524, he was buried at the St Francis Church. At that time the church was called St Anthony's. In 1538 Vasco Da Gama's remains were taken first to Goa and then to Portugal. The final resting place of Vasco Da Gama is a tomb at the Jeronimos Monastery at Belem, beside the River Tagus at Lisbon. Vasco da Gama, who discovered the sea route from Europe to India, landed at Kappad near Kozhikode (Calicut) in 1498. Vasco da Gama was followed by Pedro Álvares Cabral and Afonso de Albuquerque. They built a fort at Kochi with permission from the Raja of Cochin. Within the fort, they built a church with a wooden structure, which was dedicated to St. Bartholomew. The neighbourhood is now known as Fort Kochi. Source: Wikipedia www.portciti
