9) PORTUGUESE TOMBSTONES IN THE COURTYARD OF SANTA CRUZ CATHEDRAL, FORT KOCHI

In the courtyard of Santa Cruz Cathedral at Fort Cochin, behind the small chapel of Virgin Mary are 4 Portuguese tombstones arranged around a multi-tiered pillar and guarded by a chain link fencing. Two of the tombstones are undated, one is from 1624 and the remaining gravestone can be dated  to either (15)84 or (16)84 depending upon how the first two numerals are read. More details about these tombstones and their photographs are uploaded in the posts uploaded to the blog 'Jewish Monuments of Kerala' below:
