    Lovely experience, as well as enter inside the church campus. Huge campus just 1.2KM distance from Thrissur main railway station. Need to followup PO Road(post office/ Bsnl Telephone exchange) road. Most probably 2nd OLd lady Basilica after Vallarpadam in Kochi/ Kerala state.

    One of the ancient Basilica in the heart of the Thrissur city. Also known as 'puthan palli'. Very attractive and energetic atmosphere for prayer.. One of the unique feature is Bible Tower which contains an adoration chappel behind the main alter and the tower which narrated the whole Bible events as pictures and history of church in kerala, specially in thrissur. We can see the entire thrissur town over there.. Also from the topview the entire church building resamples the Holy cross.

    As a Christian, my visit to Our Lady of Dolours Basilica Church was truly uplifting. The architecture and ambiance create a serene atmosphere conducive to worship. The Mass was spiritually enriching, and the choir's harmonious melodies added to the reverent experience. The welcoming community and dedicated clergy make it a place where faith flourishes. I appreciate the sense of tradition and devotion that permeates the church, making it a sacred space for reflection and connection with God. Highly recommended for a spiritually fulfilling experience.

    An old church with pillars just like old times. J had attended a RC holy mass in Sunday evening at 7:30 PM in Malayalam. Mind that this is the only church in the town with this time in mass. Most other churches have till maximum 7:15 PM. The church has good ambiance and peaceful state. The parking is limited and is hard to get one if you don't come in time. Peace upon you
