St. Aloysius Chapel
St. Aloysius Chapel is famous for its interior, covered almost entirely in elaborate frescoes and paintings by the Italian Jesuit artist Antonio Moscheni, completed in the late 19th century, depicting scenes from the life of St. Aloysius Gonzaga and other religious imagery across the walls and ceiling. The density and quality of the painted interior is genuinely remarkable and has drawn comparisons to European chapel art, unusual for a college chapel in coastal Karnataka.
It's a compact but visually striking visit, and given its location within the college campus, checking current visiting hours before going is worthwhile since access can depend on the academic calendar and college schedule.
