The St. George Orthodox Church, Chandanapally is really one of the few buildings, let alone a church, to have a true and perfect blend of Christian, Islamic and Kerala styles of architecture, making it an amazing place for young architects to visit and understand the space. Completed after 14yrs in 2000, the church does have a resemblance to the St. Peter's Basilica, Rome but has its own unique identity thanks to the different styles used in it. The feast of the church (1-8th may) attracts pilgrims from all over making it one of the important places of Christian pilgrimage in Kerala. Both the interiors and exterior of the church are exceptionally built and specially recommended to people who love architecture.
