In the cemetery of the church of "Nossa Senhora de Saude" (Our Lady of Health) at Saude, located south of Fort Kochi, there are two vertically mounted Portuguese tombstones. The following link to my blog 'Jewish Monuments of Kerala' covers them in detail.
A pictorial blog for the European funerary heritage of Kerala. This include Portuguese, Dutch, French and English monuments. The earliest grave monuments are the 16th century Portuguese headstones in the St Francis Church at Fort Kochi. The primary objective of this blog is to identify and photograph European tomb monuments in-situ across Kerala. Important memorials installed in the form of tablets and plaques may also be considered. Biographical details are beyond the scope of this blog.
